Engineered E. coli to produce glutathione efficiently
Key research points Glutathione is an important tripeptide that is widely used in the pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries. In this paper, metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli (E. coli) was used to produce glutathione efficiently. Conventional glutathione is mainly produced by yeast fermentation, but the intracellular accumulation of yeast limits its production. The researchers significantly…
