Terpenoids are a group of natural products that have a variety of essential and non-essential
roles in metabolism, in biotic and abiotic interactions, as well as commercial applications …

Isoprene is facing a growing global market due to its wide industrial applications. Current
industrial production of isoprene is almost entirely petroleum-based, which is influenced by …

Isoprenoids are a class of natural products with more than 55,000 members. All isoprenoids
are constructed from two precursors, isopentenyl diphosphate and its isomer dimethylallyl …

Escherichia coli has been the organism of choice for the production of different chemicals by
engineering native and heterologous pathways. In the present study, we simultaneously …

Enthusiasm for mining advanced biofuels from microbial hosts has increased remarkably in
recent years. Isoprenoids are one of the highly diverse groups of secondary metabolites and …

Plants and microbes commonly make terpenes and terpenoids in small amounts and as
complex mixtures, and their chemical synthesis is often costly and inefficient. Hence, there …

Isoprenoids are an attractive class of metabolites for enzymatic synthesis from renewable
substrates. However, metabolic engineering of microorganisms for monoterpenoid …

Main conclusions Eukaryotic microalgae hold incredible metabolic potential for the
sustainable production of heterologous isoprenoid products. Recent advances in algal …

Branched five carbon (C 5) alcohols are attractive targets for microbial production due to
their desirable fuel properties and importance as platform chemicals. In this study, we …

Sesquiterpenes are natural compounds composed of three isoprene units. They represent
the largest class of terpene compounds found in plants, and many have remarkable …
