Engineering for synthesis of β-myrcene and (E)-β-ocimene.

Unlabelled: Monoterpenes are among the important natural plant terpenes. Monoterpenes usually have the characteristics of volatility and strong aroma. βMyrcene and its isomer (E)-β-ocimene are typical acyclic monoterpenes.

Remediation of lead and cadmium co-contaminated mining soil by phosphate-functionalized biochar: Performance, mechanism, and microbial response.

The remediation of heavy metals contaminated soils is of great significance for reducing their risk to human health. Here, pristine pinewood sawdust biochar (BC) and phosphate-functionalized biochar (PBC) were conducted to investigate their immobilization performance towards lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) in arable soils severely polluted by Pb (9240.5 mg kg) and Cd (10.

Engineering for enhanced (-)-α-bisabolol production.

(-)-α-Bisabolol is naturally occurring in many plants and has great potential in health products and pharmaceuticals. However, the current extraction method from natural plants is unsustainable and cannot fulfil the increasing requirement. This study aimed to develop a sustainable strategy to enhance the biosynthesis of (-)-α-bisabolol by metabolic engineering.
