Efficient synthesis of red myrrh from Saccharomyces cerevisiae
The metabolic engineering of North Chemical Engineering team reformed Saccharomyces cerevisiae to synthesize red myrrh efficiently As a natural sesquiterpenoid compound, alpha-red myrrh has broad application prospects in medicine and cosmetics because of its unique aroma and remarkable antioxidant properties. However, in the production process of α-red myrrh, the traditional plant extraction method has limited…
Mapp uses a reductive glycine anabolic pathway to achieve carbon fixation
Energy efficient, MAPu uses a reductive glycine anabolic pathway to achieve carbon fixation and increase biomass production by 17% “If the planet were a business, carbon dioxide would be its expense and carbon sequestration its income.” At present, this “carbon account” is seriously empty. Every year, human emissions of carbon dioxide far exceed the fixed…
Key principles of synthetic biological bacterial tumor therapy
Research into the use of bacteria in cancer treatment dates back to the 1860s. Due to the difficulty in ensuring the safety, controllability and efficacy of bacterial therapy at that time, coupled with the emergence and widespread clinical application of more directly killing tumor therapies such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy, research on bacterial tumor therapy…
Bilirubin from a synthetic biological perspective
Bilirubin, as a natural product of heme metabolism, has long played an important role in the field of medicine and biomaterials. The traditional extraction method relies on animal bile, which has some problems such as low purity, high cost and ethical controversy. In recent years, the rise of synthetic biology has provided a disruptive solution…
Tandem GGDEF-EAL domain proteins promote bacterial cellulose synthesis
