Metabolic Engineering of <i>Corynebacterium glutamicum</i> for Sustainable Production of the Aromatic Dicarboxylic Acid Dipicolinic Acid

Dipicolinic acid (DPA) is an aromatic dicarboxylic acid that mediates heat-stability and is easily biodegradable and non-toxic. Currently, the production of DPA is fossil-based, but bioproduction of DPA may help to replace fossil-based plastics as it can be used for the production of polyesters or p...
