Abstract

1 min read

First-time demonstration of constitutive isoprene hydrocarbons production in a fermentative eukaryote operated through the mevalonic acid pathway. The work provides concept validation for the utilization of S. cerevisiae, as a platform for the production of volatile hydrocarbon biofuels and chemicals.
