Biosynthesis of vanillin glucoside in Escherichia coli

Vanillin is a widely used flavor compound in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Although microbial biosynthesis offers a green alternative to conventional chemical synthesis, challenges such as unstable heterologous enzyme expression, insufficient methyl donor sup...

Metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli for efficient production of d-phenylglycine

d -phenylglycine (D-PHG) is a valuable building block extensively used in the synthesis of β-lactam antibiotics and other high-value pharmaceuticals. However, its conventional chemical production relies on expensive starting materials and harsh reaction conditions, while existing...
