Abstract
As the human body gradually ages, the cellular level of NAD+ will decline, which has been found to be related to a variety of age-related diseases. As a precursor of NAD+, NMN is able to effectively promote the synthesis of NAD+ with no significant side effects. Microbial production of NMN holds the potential to lower the production cost and facilitate its wide application. In this review, based on the metabolic pathway of NAD+, we summarize recent advances of metabolic engineering strategies for NMN biosynthesis. An outlook for future optimization to improve NMN production is also discussed.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Biotechnology has an open access mirror journal, the Journal of Biotechnology: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The Journal provides a medium for the rapid publication of both full-length articles and short communications on novel and innovative aspects of biotechnology. The Journal will accept papers ranging from genetic or molecular biological positions to those covering biochemical, chemical or bioprocess engineering aspects as well as computer application of new software concepts, provided that in each case the material is directly relevant to biotechnological systems. Papers presenting information of a multidisciplinary nature that would not be suitable for publication in a journal devoted to a single discipline, are particularly welcome.
