Figure 1 shows the reaction pathway for the production of methionine by C. glutamicum. Briefly comment, using this process as an example, on the role played by enzyme inhibition on production processes within the cell and challenges for production of certain compounds (methionine). (note blue lines indicate enzyme inhibition, dotted lines represent repression of genetic expression).
