Metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli for the biosynthesis of nylon 6 and nylon 6,6 monomers
Summary
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 20, May 2026. SignificanceThe global transition toward sustainable materials requires renewable production routes for key nylon monomers—hexamethylenediamine (HMD), adipic acid, and ε-caprolactam (ε-CL). Here, we establish a modular microbial platform that enables de ...
