Abstract
Concerns about environmental issues and limited fossil resources have increased interest and efforts in developing sustainable production of bio-based chemicals and fuels using microorganisms. Advanced metabolic engineering has developed microbial cell factories (MCFs) with the support of synthetic biology and systems biology. Isoprenoids are one of the largest classes of natural products and possess many practical industrial applications. However, it is challenging to meet the market demand for isoprenoids because of the current inefficient and unsustainable strategies for isoprenoid production such as chemical synthesis and plant extraction. Therefore, many efforts have been made to build isoprenoid-producing MCFs by applying metabolic engineering strategies, biological devices, and machinery from synthetic biology and systems biology. This review introduces recent studies of strain engineering and applications of biological tools and systems for developing isoprenoid MCFs. In addition, we also reviewed the isoprenoid fermentation strategies that lead to the best performance of isoprenoid-producing MCFs.
期刊介绍:
Current Opinion in Systems Biology is a new systematic review journal that aims to provide specialists with a unique and educational platform to keep up-to-date with the expanding volume of information published in the field of Systems Biology. It publishes polished, concise and timely systematic reviews and opinion articles. In addition to describing recent trends, the authors are encouraged to give their subjective opinion on the topics discussed. As this is such a broad discipline, we have determined themed sections each of which is reviewed once a year. The following areas will be covered by Current Opinion in Systems Biology: -Genomics and Epigenomics -Gene Regulation -Metabolic Networks -Cancer and Systemic Diseases -Mathematical Modelling -Big Data Acquisition and Analysis -Systems Pharmacology and Physiology -Synthetic Biology -Stem Cells, Development, and Differentiation -Systems Biology of Mold Organisms -Systems Immunology and Host-Pathogen Interaction -Systems Ecology and Evolution
