synthesis production of L-carnithine in Escherichia coli. The overexpression of CoA-transferase CaiB and CoA-ligase CaiC leads to an increase in L-carnitine production. Under optimal concentrations of inducer and fumarate yields reach 10- and 50fold, respectively, that obtained for the wild type strain. Low levels of coenzyme A limit the activity of these two enzymes. The glyoxylate shunt and anaplerotic pathways limit the bioprocess since strains carrying deletions of isocitrate lyase and isocitrate dehydrogenase phosphatase/kinase yielded 20-25% more L-carnitine than the control. The deletion of phosphotransacetylase strongly inhibits the bioprocess Escherichia coli
