The marine bacterium Vibrio natriegens has recently been demonstrated to be a promising new host for molecular biology and next generation bioprocesses. V. natriegens is a Gram-negative, non-pathogenic slight-halophilic bacterium, with a high nutrient versatility and a reported doubling time of under 10 min. However, V. natriegens is not an established model organism yet, and further research is required to promote its transformation into a microbial workhorse. In this work, the potential of V. natriegens as an amino acid producer was investigated...
