Synthetic Biology and Metabolic Engineering of Microalgae for Sustainable Lipid and Terpenoid Production: An Updated Perspective

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microalgae are increasingly recognised as powerful platforms for the sustainable production of lipids and terpenoids, with expanding applications in the food, fuel and biomanufacturing industries. In this updated review, we consolidate and critically assess the most recent advances in synthetic biology and metabolic engineering of key ...

An α/β‐Hydrolase GmABHD6 Controls Seed Oil Content and Yield in Soybean

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed oil content is a key trait in soybean, yet its genetic basis remains largely unresolved. Here, we identify GmABHD6, an α/β‐hydrolase domain‐containing gene, as the causal gene underlying a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) for seed oil content on chromosome 16.

Pyruvate Decarboxylase Activity Assay in situ of Different Industrial Yeast Strains

Food Technology and Biotechnology, 2009
Cytoplasmic pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC, EC 4.1.1.1) is one of the key enzymes of yeast fermentative metabolism. PDC is the first enzyme which, under anaerobic conditions, leads to decarboxylation of pyruvate with acetaldehyde as the end product. The aim

A new insight into role of phosphoketolase pathway in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

Scientific Reports, 2020
Phosphoketolase (PKET) pathway is predominant in cyanobacteria (around 98%) but current opinion is that it is virtually inactive under autotrophic ambient CO2 condition (AC-auto).

Phenotypic landscape inference reveals multiple evolutionary paths to C$_4$ photosynthesis [PDF]

, 2013
C$_4$ photosynthesis has independently evolved from the ancestral C$_3$ pathway in at least 60 plant lineages, but, as with other complex traits, how it evolved is unclear.

Multi‐Omics Combined With Mitochondrial Feeding Assays Reveal a Novel Energy Metabolism Strategy for Floral Thermogenesis in Magnolia Driven by Synergistic Supply of Multiple Substrates

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The high demand for energy during floral thermogenesis drives the synergistic operation of multiple energy substrates for the rapid temperature rise and successful reproduction of flowers. However, how thermogenic plants precisely regulate substrate supply and metabolic pathways within a short time to support large‐scale energy and heat ...

Comparative proteomics analysis of root and nodule mitochondria of soybean

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
Abstract Legumes perform symbiotic nitrogen fixation through rhizobial bacteroids housed in specialised root nodules. The biochemical process is energy‐intensive and consumes a huge carbon source to generate sufficient reducing power. To maintain the symbiosis, malate is supplied by legume nodules to bacteroids as their major carbon and energy source ...

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Approaches in the Study of 2-Oxo Acid Dehydrogenase Multienzyme Complexes—A Literature Review

Molecules, 2013
The 2-oxoacid dehydrogenase complexes (ODHc) consist of multiple copies of three enzyme components: E1, a 2-oxoacid decarboxylase; E2, dihydrolipoyl acyl-transferase; and E3, dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase, that together catalyze the oxidative ...
