Metabolic engineering and synthetic biology for isoprenoid production in Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a detailed description of various approaches used for engineering of methyl-D-erythritol-4-phosphate (MEP) and mevalonate pathway for synthesizing isoprene units (C5) and ultimate production of diverse isoprenoids.

The studies on the limonene oxidation over the microporous TS-1 catalyst

TL;DR: The most beneficial conditions for the obtaining of high selectivity of 1,2-epoxylimonene, at simultaneously high values of the conversion of reactants and the efficiency of hydrogen peroxide, are as follows: the temperature 80°C, the molar ratio of limonene/H2O2 = 1:1, the methanol concentration 80 ¼, the TS-1 content 3 ¼ and the reaction time 10 days as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and techno-economic assessment of microbial-based processes for terpenes production

TL;DR: The production of limonene appears to be the most reasonable short-term target because of its large market size and relatively easier to achieve break-even yield, and the key cost drivers to be feed glucose concentration, product yield and VVM.

Rapid Discovery and Functional Characterization of Terpene Synthases from Four Endophytic Xylariaceae.

TL;DR: This study rapidly discovered and characterized 26 terpene synthases (TPSs) derived from four endophytic fungi known to produce mycodiesel hydrocarbons, and found that 12 TPS’s were functional, with the majority of them exhibiting both monoterpene and sesquiter pene synthase activity.

Expanding the Isoprenoid Building Block Repertoire with an IPP Methyltransferase from Streptomyces monomycini.

TL;DR: In this article, a SAM-dependent methyltransferase was proposed to convert IPP into a variety of C6 and C7 prenyl pyrophosphates, which enabled the expansion of the terpenoid structure space beyond the borders predetermined by the isoprene rule.

Studies on transformation of Escherichia coli with plasmids

TL;DR: Competition with both transforming and non-transforming plasmids indicates that each cell is capable of taking up many DNA molecules, and that the establishment of a transformation event is neither helped nor hindered significantly by the presence of multiple plasmid molecules.

Production of the antimalarial drug precursor artemisinic acid in engineered yeast

TL;DR: The engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to produce high titres (up to 100 mg l-1) of artemisinic acid using an engineered mevalonate pathway, amorphadiene synthase, and a novel cytochrome P450 monooxygenase from A. annua that performs a three-step oxidation of amorpha-4,11-diene to art Artemisinic acid.

Analysis of gene control signals by DNA fusion and cloning in Escherichia coli

TL;DR: Plasmid cloning vectors that enable insertion of DNA fragments between the inducible ara (arabinose) promoter and the lac (lactose) structural genes have been constructed and used for the detection and analysis of signals that control gene transcription.
Journal ArticleDOI

Engineering a mevalonate pathway in Escherichia coli for production of terpenoids

TL;DR: The strains developed in this study can serve as platform hosts for the production of any terpenoid compound for which a terpene synthase gene is available, and are the universal precursors to all isoprenoids.
