Engineering precursor supply in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: New strategies for cytosolic acetyl-CoA formation

Metabolic engineering – the improvement and addition, by genetic modification, of industrially relevant properties of microorganisms with respect to catalysis, transport and regulatory functions – is a well-established method for development of more cost-effective and ‘green’ industrial processes. Rapid depletion of oil reserves and a growing...
