A research team led by Distinguished Professor Sang Yup Lee has developed an Escherichia coli strain for high-efficiency production of aromatic polyesters using systems metabolic engineering....read more
A direct fermentative approach to renewable methyl anthranilate (MANT) production from glucose is possible with metabolically engineered Escherichia coli and Corynebacterium glutamicum strains harboring a synthetic plant-originating metabolic pathway. This bio-based production platform will allow MANT, an important and widely used compound to impart grape scent and flavor, to be produced in a completely natural and sustainable manner....read more
