Abstract
Given the crucial role of water-soluble vitamins in the human body and the rising demand for natural sources, their biosynthesis has gained the attention of researchers. This review offers a comprehensive look at recent progress in water-soluble vitamin biosynthesis, emphasizing synthetic biotechnology for green biomanufacturing. Specifically, it encompasses the optimization of biological components, pathways, and systems, as well as energy metabolism regulation, stress-tolerance enhancement, high-throughput screening, and the upscaling of production processes. It also envisages intelligent biomanufacturing platforms, highlighting the role of systems biology and artificial intelligence (AI), and proposes future research directions, such as integrating AI-driven metabolic models, enzyme engineering, and cell-free systems, to address limitations in the efficiency, toxicity, and scalability of water-soluble vitamin production.
