A research team presents an overview of recent advances in the microbial biosynthesis of L-tryptophan (L-Trp) and its structurally diverse derivatives, highlighting how synthetic biology and metabolic ...

Chinese researchers have developed an advanced, high-throughput single-cell sorting platform that enables direct isolation of living cells with targeted metabolic profiles from large mutant libraries.

This review synthesizes progress in pathway optimization, regulatory rewiring, and microbial cell factory design that has ...

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 ...

The microbiome-the trillions of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that live quietly in our body-plays a crucial role in shaping human health by providing a variety of micronutrients necessary for vital ...

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 ...

“The microbiome is a highly complex and diverse community of microorganisms living in and on the human body,” describes Dr. Kate Markey, Assistant Professor in the Translational Science and ...
