Fields to fermentors: Brewing botanical chemotherapeutic precursors using genetically engineered yeast.
Plants are a rich source of chemotherapeutics and other essential medicines, but plant-based drug supply chains are unsustainable. Writing in Nature, Zhang et al.1 demonstrated a proof-of-concept alternate source of the anticancer drug vinblastine by engineering yeast to convert sugar and amino acids into its direct precursors, catharanthine and vindoline.
