Production of squalene by squalene synthases and their truncated mutants in Escherichia coli [PDF]
Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering, 2015 Squalene is a precursor of thousands of bioactive triterpenoids and also has industrial value as a lubricant, health-promoting agent, and/or drop-in biofuel. To establish an efficient Escherichia coli-based system for squalene production, we tested two different squalene synthases and their mutants in combination with precursor pathways.
