By identifying the most efficient germacrene A synthase to date, reconstructing the endogenous mevalonate pathway and extending the cytosolic acetyl-CoA pool by regulating lipid metabolism, the resulting strain […]
doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkad992 Protist are unicellular eukaryotic organisms, including unicellular eukaryotic algae and protozoa. Protists are highly diverse and widely distributed in all kinds of water environments, playing an important role in ecological balance, material and energy cycles, environmental health, and the occurrence of plant and animal diseases. They are important components of the aquatic ecosystem, important […]
