A tale of two reductases: extending the bacteriochlorophyll biosynthetic pathway in E. coli.

The creation of a synthetic microbe that can harvest energy from sunlight to drive its metabolic processes is an attractive approach to the economically viable biosynthetic production of target compounds. Our aim is to design and engineer a genetically tractable non-photosynthetic microbe to produce...
