ABSTRACT:
The invention provides methods of increasing the production of aromatic carboxylic acids from a host cell via manipulation of the yhcRQP operon encoding a family of efflux proteins. Up-regulation of all or a sub-set of the genes in the yhcRQP were additionally found to enhance tolerance to aromatic carboxylic acids toxicity.
