Cyanobacteria have shown promise to produce citramalate, a key component for making sustainable plastics like Perspex. The ...

Pyruvate occupies a central node in carbohydrate metabolism such that how it is produced and consumed can optimize a cell for energy production or biosynthetic capacity. This has been primarily ...

PCC 6803, a well-studied strain of cyanobacteria. Citramalate, the focus of their study, is produced in a single enzymatic ...

To create other products and chemicals from acetyl-CoA, it must often first be converted into cellular intermediates with three carbon atoms, such as pyruvate. In nature, metabolic pathways for this ...

Scientists at The University of Manchester have made an exciting breakthrough in using cyanobacteria, also known as ...

PCC 6803, a well-studied strain of cyanobacteria. Citramalate, the focus of their study, is produced in a single enzymatic step using two key metabolites: pyruvate and acetyl-CoA. By fine-tuning ...
