Abstract
⺠Directed evolution is applied to sugar transport proteins. ⺠Mutant transporters increase growth rates by 70% on xylose. ⺠Mutant transporters can alter the diauxic shift dynamics. ⺠Point mutations can alter transporter function. ⺠Molecular transporters exhibit a balance between efficiency and selectivity.
