Strain Engineering for 3-Phenylpropanal

Online Inquiry

CD Biosynsis is dedicated to designing and optimizing the biosynthetic pathway of 3-phenylpropanol based on the theory of synthetic biology, and continuously improving the performance of microbial cell factories through metabolic engineering to achieve a high yield of 3-phenylpropanol.

Background

3-Phenylpropanol is naturally found in strawberries, tea leaves, and other plants, and is a high-value fragrance with an aromatic flavor. 3-Phenylpropanol has been widely used in medicine, cosmetics, food, and other fields. Currently, the production method of 3-phenylpropanol relies mainly on plant extraction and chemical synthesis. Chemical synthesis generally requires high temperature and pressure and heavy metal catalysts, which are less efficient and more polluting. Meanwhile, synthetic biology is developing rapidly and various microbial systems have been studied in depth. Therefore, the green production of 3-phenylpropanol using microorganisms as cell factories has gradually replaced its plant-derived and chemically synthesized methods.

Escherichia coli Botrytis cinerea Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Retrobiosynthetic Design of 3-Phenylpropanol Biosynthetic Pathway

We are able to achieve the highest yield of microbial production of 3-phenylpropanol by the computer-aided design of the biosynthetic pathway of 3-phenylpropanol based on a retrobiosynthetic strategy and reconstituting the engineered strain through chromosome engineering.

Screening the Best Pathway for the Production of 3-Phenylpropanol

We are able to analyze and compare the synthetic pathways for the production of 3-phenylpropionic acid. We are able to screen the pathways capable of achieving high yields of 3-phenylpropanoic acid using cheap carbon sources by analyzing the accumulation of the by-product cinnamyl alcohol, the fermentation time of the microorganisms, and the conversion efficiency of the synthetic pathways.

Optimizing Fermentation Conditions

We are able to help our customers select the most appropriate fermentation parameters for cell growth, including temperature, carbon source, etc., to improve fermentation efficiency.
