The biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids is a vital metabolic process in plants that underpins both protein production and the generation of a myriad of specialised compounds. Central to this ...

Metabolic engineering of Corynebacterium glutamicum has long been a cornerstone of industrial biotechnology, contributing greatly to the bio‐based production of essential amino acids.

Dicarboxylic acids are commodity chemicals used in the production of plastics, polyesters, nylons, fragrances, and medications. Bio-based routes to dicarboxylic acids are gaining attention due to ...

Researchers have mapped the chemical pathway for 4-vinylanisole that causes locusts to swarm and figured out how to inhibit ...

New research shows a fungus, *Candida tropicalis*, surprisingly boosts black soldier fly larvae's nutrition. It increases ...

Bacillus subtilis produces the antibiotic anticapsin as an l-Ala-l-anticapsin dipeptide precursor known as bacilysin, whose synthesis is encoded by the bacA−D genes and the adjacent ywfGH genes. To ...

Capital Medical University, in collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, reports that betaine, a molecule produced ...

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. In skincare products, peptides have many possible benefits, such as helping combat fine lines and wrinkles, protecting ...

Alignment and sequencing errors are a major concern in molecular evolution, and this valuable study represents a welcome improvement for genome-wide scans of positive selection. This new method seems ...
