Abstract excerpt
Yeast has been widely used for large-scale production of terpenoids. In yeast, modifications of terpenoid biosynthetic pathways have been intensively studied. tHMG1 (encoding the catalytic domain of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase of yeast) and UPC2-1 (the G888D mutant of UPC2 encoding a transcription factor) were integrated into yeast chromosome, and ERG9 (the squalene synthase gene of yeast) was...
