Isopentenol Utilization Pathway for the Production of Linalool in Escherichia coli Using an Improved Bacterial Linalool/Nerolidol Synthase

Clara A. Ferraz et al.

Summary: Linalool, a monoterpenoid compound, is used as a fragrance ingredient and a potential source for alternative fuels. Synthetic biology presents a more attractive alternative to traditional extraction and chemical synthesis methods. By combining enzyme engineering and flux control using the non-canonical isopentenol utilization (IU) pathway, high purity production of linalool was achieved, paving the way for efficient optimization of terpenoid production in engineered microbes.

Adonis amurensis Is a Promising Alternative to Haematococcus as a Resource for Natural Esterified (3S,3′S)-Astaxanthin Production

Yongfu Li et al.

Summary: Adonis amurensis, a higher plant capable of producing AST, contains AST in the form of di-esterified with the main geometrical isomer being all-trans AST. The flower also features one optical isomer and five geometrical isomers, with all-trans AST being the predominant form. The production cost of AST from Adonis flowers is estimated to be as low as euro388-393/kg, making it a potentially cost-effective source of natural esterified AST.
