De novo L-(+)-tartaric acid biosynthesis in multi-modular engineered yeasts

L-(+)-tartaric acid (L-TA) is a high-value chiral organic acid essential for food and pharmaceuticals. Despite its industrial importance, sustainable green production is constrained by the lack of a fully defined biosynthetic pathway. Here, we report the de novo biosynthesis of L-TA in Saccharomyces cerevisiae through...
