Tailoring strain construction strategies for muconic acid production in S. cerevisiae and E. coli

There is currently a strong interest to derive the biological precursor cis,cis-muconic acid from shikimate pathway-branches to develop a biological replacement for adipic acid. Pioneered by the Frost laboratory this concept has regained interest: Recent approaches (Boles, Alper, Yan) however suffer...
