Popis: Growth decoupling can be used to optimize microbial production of biobased compounds by inhibiting excess biomass formation and redirect carbon flux from growth to product formation. However, identifying suitable genetic targets through rational design is challenging. Here, we conduct a genome-wide CRISPRi screen to discover growth switches suitable for decoupling growth and production. Using an sgRNA library covering 12 238 loci in the
