To achieve an efficient production of geraniol and its derivatives in Escherichia coli, we aimed to improve the activity of geraniol synthase (GES) through a single round of mutagenesis and screening for higher substrate consumption. We isolated GES variants that outperform their parent in geraniol production. The analysis of GES variants indicated that the expression level of GES was the bottleneck for geraniol synthesis. Over-expression of the mutant GES with a 5'-untranslated sequence designed for high translational efficiency, along with the additional expression of mevalonate pathway enzymes, isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase, and geranyl pyrophosphate synthase, yielded 300 mg/L/12 h geraniol and its derivatives (>1000 mg/L/42 h in total) in a shaking flask.

Rose (Rosa rugosa) is an important perfume plant, but its cultivation is significantly constrained by salt stress. Terpenes represent the most abundant volatile aromatic compounds in roses, yet little is known about how terpene metabolism responds to salt stress. In this study, salt-treated rose petals presented significant accumulation of monoterpenes, including geraniol, due to the disruption of jasmonic acid (JA) biosynthesis and signalling.

Flat black tea (FBT) has been innovatively developed to alleviate homogenisation competition, but the dynamic changes in aroma components during the process remain unclear. This study employed HS-SPME-GC-MS to analyse the aroma components of tea samples from various processing stages of FBT, and to make a comparative assessment with conventional strip-like Congou black tea (SBT). Additionally, a proteomic analysis was conducted on fresh leaves, withered leaves, and frozen-thawed leaves.

Geraniol, an acyclic monoterpenoid of substantial value extracted from the essential oils of various aromatic plants, holds significant commercial and industrial importance in the realms of food, cosmetics, medicine, and bioenergy. Geraniol synthase, which is responsible for geraniol production, has been identified in only several plant species to date. Here, we present the first cloning and characterization of a geraniol synthase (PgfTPS) from .

Macrocyclic natural products, particularly those with no functionalities except unsaturation, are recognized for their therapeutic potential but are notoriously challenging to synthesize. In this study, we report the first total synthesis of an unconventional 18-membered, C macrocyclic terpenoid, which has demonstrated substantial immunosuppressive activity. This synthesis was achieved through strategic modifications and innovative reaction engineering, utilizing α-terpineol and geraniol as starting materials, highlighting a novel approach in macrocyclic terpenoid synthesis.

is a food-grade lactic acid bacterium widely used in the food and beverage industry. Recently, this probiotic organism has been applied as a biofactory for the production of pharmaceutical and food-related compounds, but existing promoters and expression vectors for the genetic engineering of rely on inefficient cloning strategies and are usually not well-characterized. We therefore developed a modular and standardized Golden Gate Assembly-based toolbox for the assembly of shuttle vectors from to .
