Overproduction of rhamnolipids in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14 by redirection of the carbon flux from polyhydroxyalkanoate synthesis and overexpression of the rhlAB-R operon.

The limitation of RL production by P. aeruginosa PA14 is multifactorial and diverse from the results obtained with other strains. Thus, the factors that limit RL production are particular to each P. aeruginosa strain, so strain-specific strategies should be developed to increase their production.
