Nature selected biosynthetic strategies are not unique and efficient artificial alternate self-sufficient routes can be build for biotechnological purposes. Natural organ, cellular and subcellular compartmentalization is not a request for steroid hormone synthesis Critical yeast functions controlling membrane integrity can be massively engineered keeping a viable host physiology. Enzyme functions frequently exhibit surprising plasticity which can be both source of side reactions and advantage when reconstructing heterologous metabolic pathways. Thank to ……..
