Abstract excerpt
3-Hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) serves as a crucial platform chemical with diverse applications across various industries. In this study, the oxaloacetate pathway was utilized for 3-HP production. This pathway involves the decarboxylation of oxaloacetate into malonic semialdehyde, catalyzed by branched-chain α-keto acid decarboxylase (KdcA), which is subsequently reduced to 3-HP by dehydrogenases. Directed...
