CSIR-CIMAP congratulates Dr. Dinesh A. Nagegowda on the publication of his latest research in Archives of Microbiology. The study highlights an innovative synthetic biology approach, where a potato-derived enzyme has been used to engineer yeast as a sustainable platform for producing bulnesol—the key aroma compound of guaiacwood oil from the endangered Bulnesia sarmentoi. The research also reveals a novel role of extracellular pH in influencing terpene synthase product profiles, opening new avenues for precision metabolic engineering. This work marks a significant step toward sustainable and scalable production of high-value aroma compounds through microbial systems. We acknowledge the continued support of past and present leadership and the Aroma Mission in enabling this achievement. 🔗 Read more: link.springer.com/article/10… #CSIRCIMAP #ResearchExcellence #SyntheticBiology #AromaMission #Biotechnology #SustainableInnovation #TerpeneResearch #Bulnesol #MicrobialEngineering @CSIR_IND @DrJitendraSingh @DrNKalaiselvi @zabeerahmedb

Our scientists are always striving to push the boundaries of innovation to address real-world challenges. Here is @shams_yazdani, Group Leader, #MicrobialEngineeringGroup, @ICGEBNewDelhi, who has developed a novel enzyme. Through the innovative modification of a fungus host, Dr. Yazdani and his team have successfully developed a novel enzyme with immense potential for the production of #2GEthanol. This enzyme could revolutionize biofuel production in India, offering a more sustainable and efficient pathway for renewable energy. Dr. Yazdani's work is a powerful reminder of how science and innovation can provide solutions to pressing global challenges like energy sustainability. We look forward to seeing the broader applications of this enzyme and its impact on the future of biofuels! #Innovation #ICGEBNewDelhi #SustainableEnergy #Biofuels #2GEthanol #MicrobialEngineering #ScienceForTheFuture #RenewableEnergy #ClimateAction
