1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundThe shikimic acid (SA) pathway is a fundamental route to synthesize aromatic building blocks for cell growth and metabolic processes, as well as for fermentative production of various aromatic compounds. Genes encoding enzymes of SA pathway are not continuous on genome and they are differently regulated.

resultsIn this study, efforts were made to construct continuous genetic modules of SA pathway that are regulated by a same Ptac promoter. Firstly, aro genes [aroG (NCgl2098), aroB (NCgl1559), aroD (NCgl0408) and aroE (NCgl1567)] from Corynebacterium glutamicum and ribosome binding site (RBS) libraries that were tailored for the above genes were obtained, and the strength of each RBS in the 4 libraries was quantified. Secondly, 9 genetic modules were built up from the RBS libraries, a previously characterized ribozyme insulator (RiboJ) and transcriptional promoter (Ptac) and terminator, and aroG, aroB, aroD and aroE. The functionality and efficiency of the constructed genetic modules were evaluated in C. glutamicum by determination of SA synthesis. Results showed that C. glutamicum RES167ΔaroK carrying a genetic module produced 4.3 g/L of SA, which was 54 folds higher compared to that of strain RES167ΔaroK (80 mg/L, without the genetic module) during fermentation in 250-mL flasks. The same strain produced 7.4, and 11.3 g/L of SA during 5-L batch and fed-batch fermentations, respectively, which corresponding to SA molar yields of 0.39 and 0.24 per mole sucrose consumption.

conclusionThese results demonstrated that the constructed SA pathway modules are effective in increasing SA synthesis in C. glutamicum, and they might be useful for fermentative production of aromatic compounds derived from SA pathway.
