Abstract
Described herein are engineered metabolic pathways in recombinant microorganism host cells which result in the production of 2-phenylethanol or 2-phenylacetic acid. Also described herein are methods of using the recombinant microorganisms for the production of 2-phenylethanol or 2-phenylacetic acid.
Claims24
A recombinant organism comprising,
- (i) at least one heterologous gene encoding an enzyme having phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) activity,
- (ii) at least one heterologous gene encoding an enzyme having trans-cinnamic acid decarboxylase (CADC) activity,
- (iii) at least one heterologous gene encoding an enzyme having styrene monooxygenase (SMO) activity,
- (iv) at least one heterologous gene encoding an enzyme having styrene oxide isomerase (SOI) activity, and
- (v) at least one gene encoding an enzyme having 2-phenylacetaldehyde reductase (PAR) activity,
- wherein the recombinant microorganism is capable of producing 2-phenylethanol from a fermentable carbon substrate.
