Prof. Mattheos Koffas from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA will talk about the "Development of microbial production platforms for plant polyphenols" during the 12th World Congress on Polyphenols Applications: Bonn Polyphenols 2018 which will be held at the University of Bonn, Germany in September 25-28, 2018.
According to Prof. Mattheos Koffas: "In the past 15 years, we have applied metabolic engineering towards the development of robust and efficient microbial production platforms for the production of plant polyphenols. We will present a number of examples where single hosts have been optimized for the production of various flavonoids starting from intermediates such as phenylpropanoic acids and flavanones, using stoichiometric-based modeling and metabolic pathway balancing. We will then present examples of using co-cultures involving such individual strains for the de novo production optimization of various flavonoids from glucose."
