The use of insect sex pheromones is an alternative technology for pest control in agriculture and forestry, which, contrast to insecticides, does not have adverse effects on human health or environment efficient also against insecticide-resistant populations. Due the high cost chemically synthesized pheromones, mating disruption applications are currently primarily targeting higher value crops, such as fruits. Here we demonstrate a biotechnological method production (Z)-hexadec-11-en-1-ol...
Lactobacillus reuteri is a heterofermentative Lactic Acid Bacterium (LAB) that commonly used for food fermentations and probiotic purposes. Due to its robust properties, it also increasingly considered use as cell factory. It produces several industrially important compounds such 1,3-propanediol reuterin natively, but factory purposes, developing improved strategies engineering fermentation optimization crucial. Genome-scale metabolic models can be highly beneficial in guiding rational...
Abstract Cis,cis‐muconic acid (CCM) is a promising polymer building block. CCM can be made by whole‐cell bioconversion of lignin hydrolysates or de novo biosynthesis from sugar feedstocks using engineered microorganisms. At present, however, there no established process for large‐scale production. In this study, we developed an integrated manufacturing glucose yeast fermentation. We systematically the CCM‐producing Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain rewiring shikimate pathway flux and enhancing...
