Metabolic Engineering of the Shikimate Pathway for Production of Aromatics and Derived Compounds—Present and Future Strain Construction Strategies [PDF]
The aromatic nature of shikimate pathway intermediates gives rise to a wealth of potential bio-replacements for commonly fossil fuel-derived aromatics, as well as naturally produced secondary metabolites.

Increased Glyphosate-Induced Gene Expression in the Shikimate Pathway Is Abolished in the Presence of Aromatic Amino Acids and Mimicked by Shikimate. [PDF]
The herbicide glyphosate inhibits the plant enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) in the aromatic amino acid (AAA) biosynthetic pathway, also known as the shikimate pathway.

Functional characterization of two 3-dehydroquinases of AroQ1 and AroQ2 in the shikimate pathway and expression of genes for the type III secretion system in Ralstonia solanacearum. [PDF]
The shikimate pathway is a general route for the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids (AAAs) in many microorganisms. A 3-dehydroquinase, AroQ, controls the third step of the shikimate pathway that catalyzes the formation of 3-dehydroquinate from 3 ...

CRISPR-mediated multigene integration enables Shikimate pathway refactoring for enhanced 2-phenylethanol biosynthesis in Kluyveromyces marxianus. [PDF]
Background 2-phenylethanol (2-PE) is a rose-scented flavor and fragrance compound that is used in food, beverages, and personal care products. Compatibility with gasoline also makes it a potential biofuel or fuel additive.

Metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli for shikimate pathway derivative production from glucose-xylose co-substrate. [PDF]
In lignocellulose biomass, microbes prefer consuming glucose over xylose, which affects target compound production. Here, the authors achieve simultaneous utilization of glucose and xylose for target chemical production and cell growth, respectively, and
