The inevitable transition from petrochemical production processes to renewable alternatives has sparked the emergence of biofoundries in recent years. Manual engineering microbes will not be sufficient meet ever-increasing demand for novel producer strains. Here we describe AutoBioTech platform, a fully automated laboratory system with 14 devices perform operations strain construction without human interaction. Using modular workflows, this platform enables transformations Escherichia coli...
Phenylpropanoids such as p-coumaric acid represent important precursors for the synthesis of a broad range plant secondary metabolites including stilbenoids, flavonoids, and lignans, which are pharmacological interest due to their health-promoting properties. Although extraction from material or chemical is possible, microbial glucose has advantage being less expensive more resource efficient. In this study, Corynebacterium glutamicum was engineered production polyphenol precursor...
