Article Synopsis
- Dicarboxylic acids are important chemicals used in making various products like plastics, fragrances, and medications, and there's a shift towards bio-based production due to environmental issues with petroleum sources.
- Current biosynthetic methods mainly produce even-carbon dicarboxylic acids, but there's a need for odd-carbon variations for certain industrial uses.
- The study introduces a new engineering method in E. coli that converts glucose into odd-carbon dicarboxylic acids by using a combination of enzymes from biotin and fatty acid synthesis, aiming for improved industrial production.
