Application Comment Organism
synthesis an artificial pathway is established in Escherichia coli for high-level production of arbutin from simple carbon sources in Escherichia coli for high-level production of arbutin from simple carbon sources. Introduction of the genes for 4-hydroxybenzoate 1-hydroxylase from Candida parapsilosis CBS604 and hydroquinone glucosyltransferase from Rauvolfia serpentina into Escherichia coli leads to the production of 54.71 mg/l of arbutin from glucose. Further redirection of carbon flux into arbutin biosynthesis pathway by enhancing shikimate pathway genes enables production of 3.29 g/l arbutin. Final optimization of glucose concentration added in the culture medium is able to further improve the titer of arbutin to 4.19 g/l in shake flasks experiments Rauvolfia serpentina
