Production of NMeAla from alternative carbon sources. The CGXII minimal medium with 16.6 g L−1 potassium acetate contained 30 g L−1 starch for cultivation production experiments using C. glutamicum strain NMeAla1(pECXT99A-amyA), 30 g L−1 arabinose using C. glutamicum strain NMeAla1(pECXT99A-araBAD) and 30 g L−1 xylose using C. glutamicum strain NMeAla1(pEKEx3-xylAB). Concentrations were determined after 72 h and are given as means with standard deviations of three replicates.
