Fig. 2. Optimizing the cell-free environment increases BDO titers.

Fig. 2

a The concentration of rewired BDO cell extract was adjusted to maximize conversion of acetoin to BDO while minimizing ethanol production. b pH was varied in physiologically compatible ranges that would not be possible in vivo to highlight the disparate pH optima for BDO and ethanol biosynthesis in vitro. c NAD and ATP concentrations were covaried to optimize the cofactor pool. d Glucose concentration was varied from 20–200 mM to compare the ratio of BDO to ethanol and the final BDO titer. Data represent mean ± standard deviation of n = 3 technical replicates. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
