Exploring the toxicity of styrene bio-production & the tolerance of other related organic solvents in E. coli by expressing different efflux pump systems

The toxicity of styrene is the most important obstacle facing its production biologically in E. coli using the tools of synthetic biology. One potential solution to counter this toxicity involves manipulating a membrane transporter in E. coli to export the chemical outside the cell membrane. In th...
