Increasing space-time-yield, carbon-conversion-efficiency and carbon substrate flexibility in the production of fine chemicals The inventors of the current invention have found a surprising positive effect of increased cAMP levels and/or manipulating the PTS system on the space-time-yield, carbon-conversion-efficiency and carbon substrate flexibility of fine chemical production of a host organism.
