Current prospects for the production of coenzyme Q10 in microbes.
Coenzyme Q or ubiquinone (UQ) is a naturally occurring coenzyme formed from the conjugation of a benzoquinone ring and an isoprenoid chain of varying length. UQ-10, the main UQ species produced by… Expand

Characterization of cyanobacterial β‐carotene ketolase and hydroxylase genes in Escherichia coli, and their application for astaxanthin biosynthesis
Carotenoid biosynthesis is highly conserved and well characterized up to the synthesis of β‐carotene. Conversely, the synthesis of astaxanthin from β‐carotene is less well characterized. Regardless,… Expand

Genetic analysis of polyketide synthase and peptide synthetase genes in cyanobacteria as a mining tool for secondary metabolites
Molecular screening using degenerate PCR to determine the presence of secondary metabolite genes in cyanobacteria was performed. This revealed 18 NRPS and 19 PKS genes in the 21 new cyanobacterial… Expand

Identification of bottlenecks in Escherichia coli engineered for the production of CoQ(10).
In this work, Escherichia coli was engineered to produce a medically valuable cofactor, coenzyme Q(10) (CoQ(10)), by removing the endogenous octaprenyl diphosphate synthase gene and functionally… Expand

Engineering a non-native hydrogen production pathway into Escherichia coli via a cyanobacterial [NiFe] hydrogenase.
Biotechnology is a promising approach for the generation of hydrogen, but is not yet commercially viable. Metabolic engineering is a potential solution, but has largely been limited to native pathway… Expand

Translational and transcriptional analysis of Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 to provide insights into alcohol and ketone utilisation
The potential of Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 for alcohol or ketone bioconversion was explored in this study. S. solfataricus was grown in different concentrations (0.1–0.8% w/v) of alcohols or ketones… Expand

Proteome and transcriptional analysis of ethanol-grown Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 reveals ADH2, a potential alcohol dehydrogenase.
Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 was shown to survive on ethanol at various concentrations (0.08-3.97% w/v) as the sole carbon source. The highest ethanol consumption rate was 15.1 mg/L/hr (via GC-MS… Expand

Proteome analysis of Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 propanol metabolism.
Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 is able to metabolize n-propanol as the sole carbon source. An average n-propanol consumption rate of 9.7 and 3.3 mg/L/hr was detected using GC-MS analysis from S.… Expand

Piezotolerance as a metabolic engineering tool for the biosynthesis of natural products.
Thermodynamically, high-pressure (>10's of MPa) has a potentially vastly superior effect on reactions and their rates within metabolic processes than temperature. Thus, it might be expected that… Expand
