a

KO, knockout.

b

The reported titers and yields (Ytyr/glu, yields of l-tyrosine and l-glucose) were results from the shake flask cultures, except those in parentheses, which were from bioreactors. All cultures grown were grown at 37°C, except PB12CP, which was grown at 30°C.

c

The theoretical yield (% Yt) was calculated based on the maximum value of 0.55 g of l-tyrosine per g of glucose (43).

d

fbr, feedback resistant.
