Branched-chain amino acid biosynthetic platforms in prokaryotic cell factories: metabolic engineering and value-added chemical biomanufacturing.
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are recognized not only as industrially important fermentation products but also as versatile biosynthetic platforms for the production of branched-chain value-added chemicals. The characteristic branched carbon skeletons of BCAAs, together with their metabolically versatile intermedi...
