Advances in Metabolic Engineering Paving the Way for the Efficient Biosynthesis of Terpenes in Yeasts

Terpenes are a large class of secondary metabolites with diverse structures and functions that are commonly used as valuable raw materials in food, cosmetics, and medicine. With the development of metabolic engineering and emerging synthetic biology tools, these important terpene compounds can be sustainably produced using different microbial chassis. Currently, yeasts such as
