Heme biosensor-guided in vivo pathway optimization and directed evolution for efficient biosynthesis of heme

Abstract Background Heme has attracted much attention because of its wide applications in medicine and food. The products of genes hemBCDEFY convert 5-aminolevulinic acid to protoporphyrin IX (PPIX; the immediate precursor of heme); protoporphyrin ferrochelatase (FECH) inserts Fe2+ into PPIX to gene...
