DNA modifying enzymes are common tools for genome engineering. Genes encoding these enzymes are typically delivered into a host via plasmids and later removed by various counter-selection methods. However, this process involves steps or genetic parts that aren’t available or compatible with certain organisms. For many polyploid organisms, such...

The market interest in bioproduction of chemicals and polymers is steadily growing, driven by sustainability concerns and increashttp://azte.technologypublisher.com/files/sites/ncs-m12-182,-m14-208l,-m14-232l.pdfed environmental awareness. However, most production technologies rely on petroleum or food crops as feedstocks. In the coming decades, materials...

2-Phenylethanol is a naturally-occurring aromatic alcohol and key molecule used in the flavor and fragrance industries due to its floral, rose-like aroma. Additionally, 2PE has been considered as a potential biofuel or fuel additive due to its low volatility, high energy density and non-hygroscopic properties. Natural 2PE can be obtained from various...

Market interest in biosynthesis of important commodity chemicals in a sustainable manner is continually growing, driven by increased environmental awareness. However, most conventional production technologies rely on petroleum as feedstocks. Using engineered microorganisms to synthesize industrially relevant chemical building blocks from renewable resources...

1,3-butadiene is a highly useful chemical building block that is instrumental in the production of many fine and commodity chemicals. It is also an intermediate chemical in the production of synthetic rubbers. These rubbers have a wide range of applications across many fields, from tire production to medical equipment. The conventional method of 1,3-butadiene...

The market interest in biosynthesis of important commodity chemicals is steadily growing, driven by sustainability concerns and by increased environmental awareness. However, most production technologies rely on petroleum or food crops as feedstocks. Phenol is one such useful and versatile chemical, which is typically derived from petrochemical feedstocks;...
