Sucrose-metabolizing microbial metabolic pathways: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Low metabolic conversion rates in itaconic acid synthesis limit industrial yield. Engineering specific Pseudozyma strains optimizes the biosynthetic pathway to maximize organic compound output.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Sucrose-metabolizing microbial metabolic pathways?

Inflexible gene expression levels

(9)evidences

Insufficient expression levels and poor secretion control in microbial hosts limit industrial productivity. Overcoming these bottlenecks increases the titer and commercial viability of target compounds.

Low fermentation product yield

(8)evidences

Complex biological matrices like whole stillage and seed meal hinder the isolation of valuable proteins. Improving recovery rates reduces waste and increases the economic viability of fermentation byproducts.

Low feedstock conversion efficiency

(5)evidences

Low metabolic flux from complex sugars to high-value oligosaccharides. Improving conversion efficiency increases commercial yields of specialized carbohydrates.
