Adaptation of hydroxymethylbutenyl diphosphate reductase enables volatile isoprenoid production [PDF]
eLife, 2020 Volatile isoprenoids produced by plants are emitted in vast quantities into the atmosphere, with substantial effects on global carbon cycling. Yet, the molecular mechanisms regulating the balance between volatile and non-volatile isoprenoid production ...

Downregulation of Squalene Synthase Broadly Impacts Isoprenoid Biosynthesis in Guayule [PDF]
Metabolites, 2022 Production of natural rubber by Parthenium argentaum (guayule) requires increased yield for economic sustainability. An RNAi gene silencing strategy was used to engineer isoprenoid biosynthesis by downregulation of squalene synthase (SQS), such that the ...

Growth-uncoupled isoprenoid synthesis in Rhodobacter sphaeroides [PDF]
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2020 Background Microbial cell factories are usually engineered and employed for cultivations that combine product synthesis with growth. Such a strategy inevitably invests part of the substrate pool towards the generation of biomass and cellular maintenance.

Improving the co-production of triacylglycerol and isoprenoids in Chlamydomonas [PDF]
Biofuel Research Journal, 2020 Biodiesel and natural products derived from microalgae require a smaller land area and have higher production rates compared to plants and animals and has recently attracted considerable interest.

Carotenoids from Haloarchaea and Their Potential in Biotechnology
Marine Drugs, 2015 The production of pigments by halophilic archaea has been analysed during the last half a century. The main reasons that sustains this research are: (i) many haloarchaeal species possess high carotenoids production availability; (ii) downstream processes
