Boosting the epoxidation of squalene to produce triterpenoids in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Abstract Background Polycyclic triterpenoids (PTs) are common in plants, and have attracted considerable interest due to their remarkable biological activities. Currently, engineering the ergosterol synthesis pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a safe and cost-competitive way to produce triterpen...
