Metabolic Engineering and Synthetic Biology
Abstract
In the modern era of next-generation genomics and Fourth Industrial Revolution, there is a growing demand for translational research that brings about not only impactful research but also potential commercialisation of R- and D-based products. Advancement of metabolic engineering and synthetic biology has put forward a viable and innovative biotechnological platform for bioproduct development especially using microbial chassis. In this chapter, readers will be introduced on the concepts of metabolic engineering, synthetic biology and microbial chassis and the applications of these biological engineering (BioE) components in the advancement of industrial and agricultural biotechnology. Main strategies in employing BioE platform are discussed especially for waste bioconversion and value-added product development. More importantly, this chapter will also discuss current endeavours in integrating systems and synthetic biology for microbial production of natural products by introducing flavonoid biosynthesis genes of Polygonum minus, a medicinally important tropical plant in engineered yeast.
Keywords: Biological engineering; Industrial biotechnology; Metabolic engineering; Microbial chassis; Synthetic biology.
