NewsResearchers achieve de novo biosynthesis of plant lignans using synthetic yeast consortia
Researchers have achieved the biosynthesis of the antiviral ingredient lignan glycoside in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. By mimicking the spatial and temporal regulation of plant biosynthesis, they designed a system with obligated mutualism, enabling metabolic division of labor among different yeast strains.
