Biosynthesis of melatonin from l-tryptophan by an engineered microbial cell factory
Abstract Background The demand for melatonin is increasing due to its health-promoting bioactivities such as antioxidant and sleep benefits. Although melatonin is present in various organisms, its low content and high extraction cost make it unsustainable. Biosynthesis is a promising alternative met...
