Abstract excerpt
Acetyl-CoA is a key precursor for the biosynthesis of a wide range of fuels, chemicals, and value-added compounds, whose biosynthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae involves acetyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) and is energy intensive. Previous studies have demonstrated that functional expression of a pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) could fully replace the endogenous ACS-dependent pathway for cytosolic acetyl-CoA biosynthesis...
