Abstract:
The present invention relates to the production of chemical species in bacterial host cells. Particularly, the present invention provides for the production of chemical species in Escherichia coli (E. coli) host cells that functionally express engineered P450 enzymes.
Abstract:
The invention provides methods for making steviol glycosides, including RebM and glycosylation products that are minor products in stevia leaves, and provides enzymes, encoding polynucleotides, and host cells for use in these methods. The invention provides engineered enzymes and engineered host cells for producing steviol glycosylation products, such as RebM, at high purity and/or yield. The invention further provides methods of making products containing steviol glycosides, such as RebM, including food products, beverages, oral care products, sweeteners, and flavoring products.
