Harnessing Yeast Mitochondria for the Sustainable Production of High-Value Chemicals

In microbial cytoplasmic reaction compartments, competitive pathways and metabolic interactions often hinder the efficient synthesis of target compounds. In contrast, eukaryotic cells can control metabolic complexity by utilizing organelles to segregate biochemical pathways. Mitochondria, known as the “powerhouses of...

Palmitoleic Acid Enhances the Tolerance of Lager Yeast to Oxidation Stress by Regulating the Multilevel Defense System

These findings identify POA as an active metabolic modulator, not merely a passive structural lipid, pointing to a non-transgenic nutritional strategy whose industrial value now requires validation under high-gravity, pilot-scale, and serial-repatching conditions.

Mechanisms of combined tetracycline and sulfadiazine stress inhibiting nitrogen transformation in aerobic granular sludge: Insights from oxidative stress, energy metabolism and functional genes.

From the perspective of linking structural damage, oxidative stress and molecular regulation, this study clarified how antibiotic inhibited nitrogen metabolism in aerobic granular sludge (AGS). Long-term antibiotic stress severely damaged AGS structure, causing blurred boundaries, surface cracks and collapse zone. As a...

Recent Advances in Engineering Microbial Cell Factories for Tryptophan-Derived Chemicals.

Tryptophan-derived metabolites are indole-containing compounds with applications in medicine, functional foods, and agriculture. Conventional production via plant extraction or chemical synthesis is often inefficient and unsustainable, prompting the development of microbial biosynthesis. In this review, these metabolit...
