Enhanced Production of Plant Aromatic Compounds Through Metabolic Engineering

Abstract

Aromatic compounds are cyclic six carbon structures possessing sweet or pleasant aroma. Arene or aromatic compounds are considered to be important to chemical industry as well as bio-chemistry fields. These aromatic compounds (mostly derived from petroleum industry) were used in various biological field and need to be explored more. The production via chemically causes more global warming and becomes alarming for alternative methods to produce these compounds. The metabolic engineering technique provides the easy method to produce these chemicals as per their increasing demands which is not fulfilled by oceanic fuel. Tremendous efforts using microbial inoculants have led to the high yield of these aroma compounds through interaction of the plant secondary metabolites. Metabolic engineering to design and construct microorganisms suitable for the production of aromatic amino acids and derivatives thereof requires control of a complicated network of metabolic reactions that partly entertain in equivalent and recurrently are in hasty steadiness.KeywordsAromatic compoundsMetabolic engineeringShikimate pathwayMicrobesOceanic fuels
