Metabolic Engineering of Yeast for the Production of 3-Hydroxypropionic Acid.
Front Microbiol
September 2018
The beta-hydroxy acid 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) is an attractive platform compound that can be used as a precursor for many commercially interesting compounds. In order to reduce the dependence on petroleum and follow sustainable development, 3-HP has been produced biologically from glucose or glycerol. It is reported that 3-HP synthesis pathways can be constructed in microbes such as and the yeast .

Article Synopsis
- Recent advancements in genetic tools have been made for filamentous fungi, which are important in agriculture and food industries.
- Traditional gene targeting methods have been inefficient, limiting functional genomics studies in these organisms.
- The introduction of CRISPR/Cas9 technology offers a highly efficient and versatile method for genetic research in fungi, paving the way for better understanding and utilization of fungal biodiversity.
Plant hormones are a class of organic substances which are synthesized during the plant metabolism. They have obvious physiological effect on plant growth at very low concentrations. Generally, plant hormones are mainly divided into 5 categories: auxins, cytokinins, ethylene, gibberellins (GAs) and abscisic acid (ABA).
