HBUT-China # Metabolic design of Corynebacterium glutamicum by CRISPR-MAD7 for lycopene production using glucose from straw # Lycopene is a carotenoid pigment found abundantly in various fruits and vegetables, particularly in tomatoes. In addition to its role as a natural pigment, lycopene has gained increasing recognition for its potential applications in functional foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. C. glutamicum is an excellent platform organism for white biotechnology with its advantageous traits, such as rapid growth, genetic stability, well-studied genetic background for recombinant engineering, which make it a superior choice to produce lycopene. ...
