De novo biosynthesis of rubusoside and rebaudiosides in engineered yeasts

Abstract

Rubusoside and rebaudiosides are considered the next generation of sugar substitutes. In this article, the authors report the engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, remodelling the complex metabolic networks by a modular engineering approach, obtaining rubusoside and rebaudiosides at titers of around 1.4 g/L and 100 mg/L, respectively.
