The invention provides mutantcells that contain one or more mutations in one or more of the rpoB, hns/tdk, cor A, ygaZ, iap, metL, ygeW, and pyrE/rph genes (exemplified in Table 2A and 2B), which confer on the mutant in M9-glucose minimal media the phenotype of increased level of growth and/or increased glucose uptake rate and/or increased acetate production rate and/or increased biomass yield, compared to a control(such as wild type) that lacks the one or more mutations in the one or more genes.
