A new tool could make it easier to study scarce plant molecules. Researchers have developed so-called microbial cell factories -- using E. coli and yeast -- to produce a special class of plant ...

In silico analysis of five industrial microorganisms identifies optimal strains and metabolic engineering strategies for producing 235 valuable chemicals. Climate change and the depletion of fossil ...

Combining a natural decarboxylase and an artificial metathase, a microbial cell factory is created that enables the synthesis of cycloalkenes from fatty diacids in a whole-cell hybrid biocatalytic ...

Metabolic engineering of microbial cell factories harnesses synthetic biology, systems biology and computational design to reprogramme microorganisms for the sustainable production of high-value ...

A team of researchers co-led by the University of California San Diego has developed a method to produce a special class of plant hormones, known as strigolactones, at unprecedented levels using ...
