Production of octanoic acid in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Investigation of new precursor supply engineering strategies and intrinsic limitations

Florian Wernig et al.

Summary: Redirecting glucose flux towards the oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway and overexpressing a heterologous phosphoketolase/phosphotransacetylase shunt improved OA yield by over 60% compared to the parental strain. Toxicity assays suggest that the inhibitory effects of OA on cell growth may impose an upper limit on achievable OA yields. Further investigation of genetic engineering targets is needed to overcome limitations in OA production in yeast.

Metabolic engineering of 1,2-propanediol production from cellobiose using beta-glucosidase-expressing E. coli

Daisuke Nonaka et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated an enhanced production efficiency of 1,2-propanediol using metabolically engineered Escherichia coli, with successful synthesis from glucose and cellobiose. Improved production was achieved by deleting competing pathways and inactivating the PTS system to reduce carbon flux towards downstream glycolysis.

Marcela Prada et al.

Summary: The study found significant differences in the distribution of OCFA-containing lipids across different lipid classes, with certain OCFA-containing phospholipids in women showing a negative association with T2D risk, while no significant inverse associations were observed in men. Furthermore, consumption of fat-rich dairy and fiber-rich foods were positively correlated with OCFA-containing lipid plasma levels, while red meat was inversely correlated.
