抄録

Higher plants produce diverse chemicals, including alkaloids, terpenoids, and phenolic compounds (phenylpropanoids and flavonoids) as secondary metabolites. These chemicals are widely used for human health and nutrition. Alkaloids, for example, are valued in medicine due to their high biological activities, but most of these metabolites accumulate at low levels in plant cells, resulting in poor extraction yields. Increasingly, attention is devoted to the production of plant metabolites by reconstructing plant biosynthetic pathways in microorganisms. This technology has been aided by advances in synthetic biology and metabolic engineering. Here, the review a fermentation platform for low-cost production of numerous alkaloids using bioengineered Escherichia coli and/or Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
