isopentenol and 3-3-dimethylallyl-pyrophosphate

Linalool is a monoterpenoid, also a vital silvichemical with commercial applications in cosmetics, flavoring ingredients, and medicines. Regulation of mevalonate (MVA) pathway metabolic flux is a common strategy to engineer Saccharomyces cerevisiae for efficient linalool production. However, metabolic regulation of the MVA pathway is complex and involves competition for central carbon metabolism, resulting in limited contents of target metabolites.. The results show that the efficient synthesis of linalool in S. cerevisiae could be achieved through a two-step pathway, gene expression adjustment, and optimization of culture conditions. The study may provide a valuable reference for the other monoterpenoid production in S. cerevisiae.
