Abstract
Mevalonate, an important intermediate product of the mevalonate pathway, has a broad spectrum of applications. With the rapid growth of metabolic engineering and synthetic biology, mevalonate biosynthesis by microorganisms is feasible and holds great promise in the future. In this review, we summarize the applications of mevalonate and its derivatives and describe the biosynthesis pathways of mevalonate. The current status of mevalonate biosynthesis is also detailed with an emphasis on metabolic engineering strategies to enhance mevalonate production in typical industrial organisms, including Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Pseudomonas putida, suggesting new insights for the efficient production of biosynthesized mevalonate.
