Engineering the yeast <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> for the production of L-(+)-ergothioneine

2019-06-12

Abstract excerpt

L-(+)-Ergothioneine is an unusual, naturally occurring antioxidant nutraceutical that has been shown to help reduce cellular oxidative damage. Humans do not biosynthesise it, so can acquire it only from their diet; it exploits a specific transporter (SLC22A4) for its uptake. ERG is considered to be a nutraceutical and possible vitamin that is involved in the maintenance of health, and seems to be at too low a conc...
