Harnessing phosphonate antibiotics argolaphos biosynthesis enables a synthetic biology-based green synthesis of glyphosate

Current commercialized production processes of glyphosate are generally associated with manufacturing hazards and toxic wastes. Here, to address the problems, the authors report the bioproduction of aminomethylphosphonate (AMP) and a chemical process for the conversion of AMP to glyphosate.
