Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic Engineering of Escherichia coli for Production of 2-Phenylethanol and 2-Phenylethyl Acetate from Glucose.
TL;DR: The biosynthesis of 2-PEAc from glucose is demonstrated by overexpressing atf1 for the subsequent conversion of2-PE to 2- PEAc and the use of an aminotransferase aro8 to redirect the metabolic flux to phenylpyruvate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli for production of 2-Phenylethylacetate from L-phenylalanine
TL;DR: The results suggest that approximately 65% of L‐phenylalanine was utilized toward 2‐ PEAc and 2‐PE biosynthesis and thus demonstrate potential industrial applicability of this microbial platform.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli for production of biodiesel from fatty alcohols and acetyl-CoA
Daoyi Guo,Hong Pan,Xun Li +2 more
TL;DR: The biosynthesis of biodiesel from three fatty acid biosynthetic pathway intermediates is showed, which depends on the expression of Saccharomyces cerevisiae alcohol acetyltransferase ATF1 that catalyzes the esterification of fatty alcohols and acetyl-CoA.
Journal ArticleDOI
De novo biosynthesis of 2-phenylethanol in engineered Pichia pastoris
TL;DR: The engineering of Pichia pastoris is demonstrated to produce 2-PE directly from simple sugars for the first time and showed the potential of P. pastoris as a host strain to produce industrially interested 2- PE by metabolic engineering.
Journal ArticleDOI
De Novo Biosynthesis of Indole-3-acetic Acid in Engineered Escherichia coli.
TL;DR: This study established an artificial pathway in engineered Escherichia coli for microbial production of IAA from glucose and described the overall pathway, which includes the upstream pathway from glucose to L-tryptophan and the downstream pathway to IAA.
