Abstract High-sugar diet causes health problems, many of which can be addressed with the use sugar substitutes. Rubusoside and rebaudiosides are interesting molecules, considered next generation substitutes due to their low-calorie, superior sweetness organoleptic properties. However, low abundance in nature makes traditional plant extraction process neither economical nor environmental-friendly. Here we engineer baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a chassis for de novo production...

Dynamic regulation is an effective strategy for fine-tuning metabolic pathways in order to maximize target product synthesis. However, achieving dynamic and autonomous up- down-regulation of the modules interest simultaneously, still remains a great challenge. In this work, we created dual-control (ADC) system, by combining CRISPRi-based NOT gates with novel biosensors key metabolite pathway interest. By sensing levels intermediate glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcN6P) self-adjusting expression...

Abstract 5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA), the committed intermediate of heme biosynthesis pathway, shows significant promise for cancer treatment. Here, we identified that in addition to hemA and hemL , hemB hemD hemF hemG hemH are also major regulatory targets pathway. Interestingly, up-regulation benefited ALA accumulation whereas overexpression diminished accumulation. Accordingly, by combinatorial with different copy-number plasmids, titer was improved 3.25 g l −1 . Furthermore, combination...

Due to increasing concerns about food safety and environmental issues, bio-based production of flavonoids from safe, inexpensive, renewable substrates is increasingly attracting attention. Here, the complete biosynthetic pathway, consisting 3-deoxy-D-arabinoheptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase (DAHPS), chorismate mutase/prephenate dehydrogenase (CM/PDH), tyrosine ammonia lyase (TAL), 4-coumarate:CoA ligase (4CL), chalcone (CHS), isomerase (CHI), malonate synthetase, carrier protein, was...

Chicken feather, a byproduct of poultry-processing industries, are considered potential high-quality protein supplement owing to their crude content more than 85%. Nonetheless, chicken feathers have been classified as waste because the lack effective recycling methods. In our previous studies, Bacillus licheniformis BBE11-1 and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia shown feather-degrading capabilities in qualitative phase. To efficiently recycle feather waste, this study, we investigated...

(2S)-Naringenin, a (2S)-flavanone, is widely used in the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries because of its diverse physiological activities. The production (2S)-naringenin microorganisms provides an ideal source that reduces cost flavonoid. To achieve efficient Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae), we constructed biosynthetic pathway from p-coumaric acid, cost-effective more precursor. synthesis genes were integrated into yeast genome to obtain strain. After gene dosage...

Pathway optimization plays an important role in fine-tuning metabolic pathways. In most conditions, more than three genes are involved the biosynthesis pathway of a specific target product. To improve titer products, rational regulation group by series promoters with different strengths is essential. On basis RNA-Seq data, set 66 native was chosen to fine-tune gene expression Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Promoter strength characterized measuring fluorescence enhanced green fluorescent protein...
