Unlike eukaryotic system, bacterial hosts lack membranous system, which is one of the limitations for efficient metabolic engineering. Here, the authors report a kinetic compartmentalization strategy to increase substrate availability from competitive reactions for the efficient production of itaconate in E. coli.
