Molecular and biochemical characterization of a novel isoprene synthase from Metrosideros polymorpha
BMC Plant Biology, 2018 Background Isoprene is a five-carbon chemical that is an important starting material for the synthesis of rubber, elastomers, and medicines. Although many plants produce huge amounts of isoprene, it is very difficult to obtain isoprene directly from ...

A synthetic microbial biosensor for high-throughput screening of lactam biocatalysts
Nature Communications, 2018 Efficient biosynthesis of lactams is still undesirable due to lacking of suitable enzyme. Here, the authors develop a sensitive transcription factor-based biosensor for high-throughput screening of marine metagenome and find a cyclase that can cyclize ω ...

Synthetic biology, engineering biology, market expectation
Engineering Biology, 2020 ‘Engineering biology’ is being increasingly adopted as a term by organisations that seek to deliver benefits from ‘synthetic biology’. However, are ‘engineering biology’ and ‘synthetic biology’ different words with the same meaning or do they signal ...
