Which of the following was not a component of the metabolic engineering strategy for artemisinic acid production?
A) a Met-inducible module to increase flux to the artemisinin pathway
B) incorporation of a mutant yeast allele to increase production of an artemisinic acid precursor
C) expression of multiple Artemissia annua genes in yeast
D) a cytochrome P450
E) a TetR repressor system to decrease flux to competing pathways

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The TetR repressor system to decrease flux to competing pathways was not mentioned as a component of the metabolic engineering strategy for artemisinic acid production. The other options (A, B, C, D) are strategies used to enhance the production of artemisinic acid or its precursors in engineered yeast or other organisms.
