De novo production of aromatic m-cresol in Saccharomyces cerevisiae mediated by heterologous polyketide synthases combined with a 6-methylsalicylic acid decarboxylase
As a flavor and platform chemical, m-cresol (3-methylphenol) is a valuable industrial compound that currently is mainly synthesized by chemical methods from fossil resources. In this study, we present the first biotechnological de novo production of m-cresol from sugar in complex yeast extract-pepto...
