Abstract
A method produces rhamnolipids by contacting a cell with a medium containing a carbon source, culturing the cell under conditions allowing the cell to make rhamnolipids from the carbon source, and optionally isolating the rhamnolipids made, wherein the cell is a rhamnolipid-making cell that it is genetically modified such that it has a decreased activity, compared to the wild type thereof, of an ABC glucose transporter and an increased activity, compared to the wild type thereof, of at least one non-ABC glucose transporter.
Claims9
A method for producing rhamnolipids, comprising:
- I) contacting a cell with a medium containing a carbon source,
- II) culturing the cell under conditions allowing the cell to make rhamnolipids from the carbon source, and
- III) optionally isolating the rhamnolipids made,
- wherein the cell is a rhamnolipid-making cell that it is genetically modified such that it has a decreased activity, compared to the wild type thereof, of an ABC glucose transporter and an increased activity, compared to the wild type thereof, of at least one non-ABC glucose transporter.
