Production of Useful Terpenoids by Higher-Fungus Cell Factory and Synthetic Biology Approaches.

abstract：:Small molecules are defined as low molecular weight organic compounds (typically <1000 Da), which could be either natural or artificial. Because established imaging methods are not able to selectively detect the positions, concentrations and structures of small molecules in biological samples, new methods have been de...
