Compact multi-enzyme pathways in P. pastoris.

We report for the first time the functional simultaneous expression of nine genes from a single 2A peptide based polycistronic expression construct. The feasibility and arising opportunities for the biosynthetic pathway balancing for chemical production were demonstrated by the co-expression of the violacein and carotenoid biosynthesis pathways.
