You aim to isolate pyruvate from an overproducing E.coli strain.During which phase of growth should its production be maximal?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pyruvate is a metabolite produced during glycolysis, which occurs in the cytoplasm of bacterial cells. Pyruvate production is most active during the log phase of bacterial growth when the rate of metabolic reactions is high. Hence, isolating pyruvate from an overproducing E.coli strain should be done during the log phase.
