Development of actinobacterial chassis for the production of plant aromatics (KB-32-001-005)

Project: LVVN project

Project Details

Description

Plants make many interesting compounds, e.g. pharmaceuticals or fragrances. However, they often produce these compounds in low amounts, and with a poorly predictable yield due to harvest, pest problems or climate problems. There are more robust ways to produce such plant-specific compounds in microbes, by integrating plant pathways in microbes. However, both the microbe and the plant pathway need to be adapted to each other. Synthetic biology is a very interesting new approach to achieve this by designer approaches.
