Abstract

Abstract Aromatic natural products are important for improving human health and quality of life. Large-scale availability of these compounds from plants is limited by low yield and cumbersome extraction. Building high-performance microbial cell factories to produce aromatic natural products by means of metabolic engineering and synthetic biology is a viable option. In the context of climate change and global resource scarcity, choosing solar-powered and carbon-fixing microbial cyanobacteria instead of chemical heterotrophic microorganisms to produce aromatic compounds might be a more progressive and better solution. In this review, we summarize the principal strategies for improving the production of aromatic natural products in engineered cyanobacteria, including regulation of metabolism, optimization of synthetic pathway, culture process development, and microbial cooperation, highlighting the potential and availability of this microbe as a novel chassis cell.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
