Show abstract
Microbes experience high cell density in many environments that come with diverse resource limitations and stresses. However, high density physiology remains poorly understood. We utilized well-controlled culturing systems to grow wild-type and metabolically engineered Escherichia coli strains into high cell densities (50-80 g Cdry cell weight L-1) and determine the associated transcriptional dynamics. Knowledge-enriched machine-learning-based analytics reveal distinct stress-related gene expression patterns that are consistent with a fundamental trade-off between resistance and persistence. We suggest that this trade-off explains observed growth arrests in high-density cultures and that it results from the disruption of cellular homeostasis, due to reallocation of limited cellular resources from resistance functions towards maintenance requirements of engineered production pathways. This study deepens our understanding of high-density physiology and demonstrates its importance to fundamental biomanufacturing challenges.
