De novo coassembly of functional chlorophyll- and carotenoid-protein complexes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Chlorophylls are essential for photosynthesis, yet their heterologous production is a major challenge in synthetic biology due to pathway complexity and the diversion of resources away from essential cofactor biosynthesis. Here, we reconstruct the complete chlorophyll biosynthetic pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. B...
