Constraints-based flux balance analysis of an extended iAF1260 model (iAF1260vio) with a reconstructed violacein module predicted growth and violacein yields in Escherichia coli accurately. Shadow price (SP) analysis identified tryptophan metabolism and NADPH as limiting. Increased tryptophan levels in Delta pgi &amp; Delta pheA were validated using in silico gene deletion analysis. Phenotypic phase plane (PhPP) analysis highlighted sensitivity between tryptophan and NADPH for violacein synthesis at molar growth yields. A synthetic VioABCDE operon (SYNO) sequence was designed to maximize Codon Adaptive Index (CAI: 0.9) and tune translation initiation rates (TIR: 2-50 fold higher) in E. coli. All pSYN E. coli transformants produced higher violacein, with a maximum six-fold increase in yields. The rational design E. coli: Delta pheA SYN: gave the highest violacein titers (33.8 mg/I). Such integrated approaches targeting multiple molecular hierarchies in the cell can be extended further to increase violacein yields.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.619</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
