Fig. 7From: Lycopene overproduction and in situ extraction in organic-aqueous culture systems using a metabolically engineered Escherichia coli a Series batch reactor for lycopene over-production using E. coli BL21LF in an aqueous-octane culture system. b Normalized lycopene production distributed within each phase for each cycle: aqueous phase containing E. coli BL21LF cells (solid bars), interphase (grey bars) and organic phase (light grey bars), and biomass (filled circle). Data represent the means and standard deviations from three separate experimentsBack to article page
