Abstract
The invention relates to cells which make rhamnolipids and are genetically modified such that they have a decreased activity, compared to the wild type thereof, of an ABC glucose transporter and, compared to the wild type thereof, an increased activity of at least one non-ABC glucose transporter and to a method for producing rhamnolipids using the cells according to the invention.
