2021-005 - Efficient Platform for the Biosynthesis of Natural Products

Biosynthesis of natural products Elucidating cryptic biosynthesis pathways Abstract USC researchers set out to devise a biosynthetic gene clusters (BGC) refactoring strategy and heterologous expression platform in A. nidulans based on the afo regulon. Taking advantage of the transcriptional regulatory elements of afo, the afo genes were replaced...

2022-191 - Conversion of Waste Plastics to High-Value Metabolites

Abstract USC researchers have developed an approach to convert polyethylenes into valuable compounds. This method involves aerobic, catalytic digestion of polyethylenes obtained from post-consumer and oceanic waste streams. The resulting carboxylic diacids serve as a carbon source for the fungus Aspergillus nidulans. Through genetic engineering, strains...
