synthesis | deletion of the Aro8 gene stimulates phenylethanol production when combined with other mutations that deregulate aromatic amino acid biosynthesis, i.e. expression of phenylalanine and tyrosine feedback-insensitive DAHP synthase. The resulting engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain produces more than 3 mM phenylethanol from glucose during growth on a simple synthetic medium | Saccharomyces cerevisiae |

physiological function | mutation in Aro8 leads to substantial changes in the absolute and relative intracellular concentrations of amino acids. Deletion of Aro8 leads to de novo production of phenylethanol during growth on a glucose synthetic medium with ammonium as the sole nitrogen source. The mutation also stimulates phenylethanol production when combined with other mutations that deregulate aromatic amino acid biosynthesis | Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
