The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular it relates to the set-up of a protocol of enzymatic engineering of the diatom species Phaeodactylum tricornutum to overexpress the biosynthetic enzyme leading to ovothiol production. This protocol is eco-sustainable because it uses cells and nutrients for biosynthesis and does not produce toxic side-compounds. Microalgal biomass moreover can be exploited for additional uses after ovothiol extraction, making the production process more cost-effective. The production of ovothiols is relevant for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmeceutical sectors.

Abstract
The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular it relates to the set-up of a protocol of enzymatic engineering of the diatom species Phaeodactylum tricornutum to overexpress the biosynthetic enzyme leading to ovothiol production. This protocol is eco-sustainable because it uses cells and nutrients for biosynthesis and does not produce toxic side-compounds. Microalgal biomass moreover can be exploited for additional uses after ovothiol extraction, making the production process more cost-effective. The production of ovothiols is relevant for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmeceutical sectors.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
