Metabolic engineering for the microbial production of isoprenoids: Carotenoids and isoprenoid-based biofuels

Synthetic and Systems Biotechnology
Fu-Xing NiuJian-Zhong Liu

Abstract

Isoprenoids are the most abundant and highly diverse group of natural products. Many isoprenoids have been used for pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, flavors, cosmetics, food additives and biofuels. Carotenoids and isoprenoid-based biofuels are two classes of important isoprenoids. These isoprenoids have been produced microbially through metabolic engineering and synthetic biology efforts. Herein, we briefly review the engineered biosynthetic pathways in well-characterized microbial systems for the production of carotenoids and several isoprenoid-based biofuels.
