Optimizing the downstream MVA pathway using a combination optimization strategy to increase lycopene yield in Escherichia coli

Abstract Background Lycopene is increasing in demand due to its widespread use in the pharmaceutical and food industries. Metabolic engineering and synthetic biology technologies have been widely used to overexpress the heterologous mevalonate pathway and lycopene pathway in Escherichia coli to prod...
