Methods and compositions are provided for production of flavonoids in microbial hosts. The compositions comprises a set of genes which encode for enzymes involved in one or more steps in the biosymthetic pathway for the conversion of phenylpropanoids to various flavonoids. The method comprises the steps of introducing the set of genes into a heterologous host cell, allowing growth of the cells in a suitable medium such that the expression of the genes results in production of enzymes. When specific substrate(s) is/are provided to the transformed cell, the enzymes act on the substrate(s) to produce the desired flavonoids.
本发明提供了一种在微生物宿主中生产黄酮类化合物的方法和组合物。该组合物包括一组基因,这些基因编码参与苯丙烷类物质转化为各种黄酮类化合物生物合成途径中的酶。该方法包括将该基因组引入异源宿主细胞中,让细胞在适宜培养基中生长,使得基因的表达导致酶的产生。当将特定底物提供给转化后的细胞时,酶作用于底物以产生所需的黄酮类化合物。
