      Ankrah, N.Y.D; Bernstein, David B.; Biggs, Matthew; Carey, Maureen; Engevik, Melinda; García-Jiménez, Beatriz; Lakshmanan, Meiyappan; Pacheco, Alan R.; Sulheim, Snorre; Medlock, Gregory L. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Construction and analysis of genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) is a well-established systems biology approach that can be used to predict metabolic and growth phenotypes. The ability of GEMs to produce mechanistic insight ...
    • Enzyme-Constrained Models and Omics Analysis of Streptomyces coelicolor Reveal Metabolic Changes that Enhance Heterologous Production 

      Sulheim, Snorre; Kumelj, Tjasa; van Dissel, Dino; Salehzadeh-Yazdi, Ali; Chao, Du; Van Wezel, Gilles P.; Nieselt, Kay; Almaas, Eivind; Wentzel, Alexander; Kerkhoven, Eduard J (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Many biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) require heterologous expression to realize their genetic potential, including silent and metagenomic BGCs. Although the engineered Streptomyces coelicolor M1152 is a widely used host ...
    • Predicting strain engineering strategies using iKS1317: a genome-scale metabolic model of Streptomyces coelicolor
