Abstract
The biosynthesis of styrene from renewable resources using an engineered microbial platform is put forward. Low activity of pathway enzymes and product toxicity remain as challenges that limit the productivity of the styrene-producing strains. Continued improvements will result in the development of biocatalysts for the sustainable production of this commodity chemical. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 2011 AIChE Annual Meeting (Minneapolis, MN 10/16-21/2011).
