Rhodosporidium toruloides: a new platform organism for conversion of lignocellulose into terpene biofuels and bioproducts

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2017
Background Economical conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into biofuels and bioproducts is central to the establishment of a robust bioeconomy. This requires a conversion host that is able to both efficiently assimilate the major lignocellulose-derived

Jungle Express is a versatile repressor system for tight transcriptional control

Nature Communications, 2018
Tightly regulated promoters with strong inducibility and scalability are highly desirable for biological applications. Here the authors describe ‘Jungle Express’, a EilR repressor-based broad host system activated by cationic dyes.

A highly active Burkholderia polyketoacyl-CoA thiolase for production of triacetic acid lactone

Nature Communications
Triacetic acid lactone (TAL) is a versatile platform chemical traditionally biosynthesized via decarboxylative Claisen condensation by 2-pyrone synthase. However, this route is limited by poor efficiency and dependence on malonyl-CoA.
