This journal focuses on the metabolic engineering of microorganisms and cells for the production of valuable compounds and the optimization of cellular processes. Research includes engineering pathways for the synthesis of chemicals, biofuels, and pharmaceuticals, as well as improving the efficiency of carbon source utilization and product yields. Studies also investigate fundamental metabolic regulation and the development of new genetic tools for microbial hosts.
