A precursor-driven triterpenoid platform enables high-level biosynthesis of structurally distinct triterpenoids in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Sustainable microbial biomanufacturing of high-value triterpenoids in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is severely constrained by native sterol homeostasis, which rapidly channels the central intermediates 2,3-oxidosqualene (OSQ) and 2,3;22,23-dioxidosqualene (DOS) into essential ergosterol biosynthesis via lanosterol synthase...
