Biosynthesis of Medicarpin in Engineered Yeast
Scientists in China have developed a way to synthesize medicarpin in yeast—specifically, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, also known as baker’s yeast. Like paclitaxel in the 1990s, this tumor-attacking substance has only limited natural quantities and is considered difficult to synthesize. Developing an efficient biosynthesis method, therefore, is a key step in making the production of this antitumor and antibacterial isoflavonoid efficient and sustain…
