Regulation of the IDH expression of E. coli strains in shake-flask cultivation. a Growth curve and glucose consumption of wild-type E. coli BL21(DE3) and recombinant E. coli harboring CRISPRi system. b HPLC analysis of mixed standard and the final fermentation broth of E. coli strains. c Time course of aconitate production and the final concentration of aconitic acid in E. coli strains. d Relative changes of metabolites in CRISPRi strains (CCRISPRi) versus control strain (Ccontrol). IDH: isocitrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.42), encoded by icdA gene. WT: wild-type E. coli BL21(DE3) devoid of CRISPRi system; control: recombinant E. coli with non-targeting CRISPRi system; icdA1, icdA2 and icdA3: recombinant E. coli harboring the CRISPRi system targeting different regions of icdA gene. Mean ± S.E. (n = 3). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01
