  Anoxic metabolism and biochemical production in Pseudomonas putida F1 driven by a bioelectrochemical system.
  Biotechnol. Biofuels (in press; BBIO-D-15-00478R1)
  This work has just been accepted and demonstrates for the first time that bioelectrochemical systems can be used to replace oxygen in obligate aerobes and enable biochemical production in these organisms under anaerobic conditions. This is expected to have a major impact in the field as it potentially enables completely new biotechnology processes. This is highly relevant for microbial redox processes that underpin most production systems. While being a new journal (2008-2014), it is in the highest quartile of the most important categories in my field and to date has already achieved a respectable H-index.

  Metab Eng, 29, 124-134 .
  This work has established production of aromatic compounds in bakers yeast using a new method for the control of gene expression. It uses an approach that allows cells to behave like a wildtype during a growth phase, but then turns into a producer for aromatics in an production phase. It addresses two important issues: How to produce aromatics (one of the most important group petrochemicals) from renewable resources and also how to limit biomass production in a biotechnology process. The paper has already collected 9 citations in under 12 months and was also awarded the runner up poster award on the 2014 Metabolic Engineering conference (Vancouver). This is the most important international meeting in the field, organised by the International Metabolic Engineering Society. After Nature Biotechnology, Metabolic Engineering can be considered the 2nd most influential experimental journal in the field of engineering cells for production purposes.

  Physiological and Transcriptional Responses of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to d-Limonene Show Changes to the Cell Wall but Not to the Plasma Membrane.
  Appl Environ Microbiol 79 (12), 3590-3600.
  This study builds on paper 7. Here we use a systems biology approach to understand the biological mode of monoterpene toxicity. The finding do not only help to address the toxicity issue from a production point of view, but also help to understand the action of antimicrobials in the broader application sense. It is a seminal paper that challenges the wide held belief that solvents will kill cells by impacting the plasma membrane. At least in the case of monoterpenes this is not true. The toolbox used for this study is highly relevant for the current proposal. The journal is the most cited journal in the field of Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology.

  Alleviating monoterpene toxicity using a two-phase extractive fermentation for the bioproduction of jet fuel mixtures in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
  

  Featured article Biotechnol Bioeng 109:2513-2522.
  Production of chemicals in microbial systems is one of the core interests in Systems Biotechnology. But the toxicity of the desired products is in many cases a major problem. In this work we show how an in-situ extraction of toxic monoterpenes can partially address the toxicity problem. The paper provides a technical solution to a biological problem. It has received a very high uptake in my field with 44 citations since 2012. The journal is a top journal in the field.

  Metabolic flux analysis in mammalian cell culture.
  Metab Eng. 12(2): p. 161-71.
  Analysing the intracellular flux distributions in animal cells is much more complex than analysis of microbes. This wqork provided a state-of-the art method at the date of publication and helped to move the field forward. This is now highly relevant to the current proposal. The paper has a citation count well above the H-index of the journal, meaning that it belongs to the top 69 (top 8.5 %) articles ever published in the journal (1999-2015). Thus my work already contributes two articles to the top 69 (2.89 %).

  Following the method development in paper number 2, this study provided an essential evaluation and method development for quantitative intracellular metabolite analysis in animal cells. This is highly relevant to the current proposal. Analytical biochemistry is a leading journal in this field and this paper belongs to the top 148 (top 2 %) articles over the live (1960-2015) of the journal. My work already contributes two articles to the top 148 (1.34 %).

  OpenFLUX: efficient modelling software for 13C-based metabolic flux analysis.
  Microb Cell Fact. 8: p. 25.
  This work delivered a comprehensive open source flux analysis package. It has been downloaded 2436 times by academia and industry. The fact that it was provided with a GNU public license meant that it also was used in industry. There are new versions emerging based on the original source code driven by demand in the field rather than individual researchers. The software is easy to use and is even used in our undergraduate teaching of metabolic engineering. It will play an essential part for isotope based flux analysis in the current proposal. The journal is a top journal in my field and this paper belongs to the top 50 most cited articles (2002-2014).

  This paper describes using in-silico modelling tools for the prediction of optimal biochemical network design for production, leading to an international patent WO2007020295. The study was one of the first of its kind and led to a range of follow-up studies using similar approaches both by myself and by many groups and companies around the world. After Nature Biotechnology, Metabolic Engineering can be considered Biotechnology the 2nd most influential experimental journal in the field of engineering cells for production purposes. The paper has a citation count well above the H-index of the journal, meaning that it belongs to the top 69 (top 8.5 %) articles ever published in the journal (1999-2015).

  J Bacteriol. 186(6): p. 1769-84.
  This publication is one of the first of its kind using a systems biology approach in a biotechnology setting. It combined different omics tools and was game changing in the applied field of microbial amino acid production. The approach ever since dominated the field as well as my career. This work also received the young scientist post award of the European Federation for Biotechnology (ECB11, 2003, Basel, Switzerland). In the current proposal a similar systems biology toolbox will be applied. This journal is the number two most cited journal in microbiology and this paper approaches the H-index of the journal, meaning that it is almost belonging to the top 188 articles over the live (1945-2015) of the journal.

  Impact of the cold shock phenomenon on quantification of intracellular metabolites in bacteria.
  Anal Biochem. 327(1): p. 135-9.
  An important methodology paper for the quantitative extraction of intracellular metabolites for metabolomics. The paper started a rethinking process among experts and led to a wide range of follow up studies from groups all around the world in many different organisms, that strengthened the conclusions from the paper. The approaches for metabolite extractions are pivotal for the analysis of intracellular metabolic phenotypes that are subject of the current proposal. Despite a relatively low impact factor; Analytical biochemistry is a leading journal in this field and this paper belongs to the top 148 (top 2 %) articles over the live (1960-2015) of the journal
