Terpenoidsynthese in dem phototrophen Bakterium Rhodobacter capsulatus

Abstract

AbstractTerpenoids offer various properties relevant for biotech and pharma industries. Production in microbes is a sustainable way to provide these compounds for industrial use. The phototrophic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus has some unique characteristics making it a promising alternative host for terpenoid production. Recombinant biosynthetic pathways can be individually adapted through modular engineering to meet the specific requirements of each microbial terpenoid production process.
