De novo biosynthesis and gram-level production of m-cresol in Aspergillus nidulans.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The industrially important meta-cresol (m-cresol, 3-methylphenol) is mainly produced from fossil resources by chemical methods. The microbial production of m-cresol was rarely investigated. Herein, we constructed a platform for the overproduction of m-cresol in a modified fungus Aspergillus nidulans FGSC no. A1145∆ST∆EM, which gave a gram-level titer using starch as carbon resource. For the biosynthesis of m-cresol, the 6-methyl salicylic acid synthase (MSAS)-encoding gene patK and 6-methyl salicylic acid decarboxylase-encoding gene patG from A. clavatus were co-expressed in the host A. nidulans. Multiple strategies, including promotor engineering, gene multiplication, and fed-batch fermentation, were applied to raise the production of m-cresol, which resulted in the titers of 1.29 g/L in shaking flasks and 2.03 g/L in fed-batch culture. The chassis cell A. nidulans A1145∆ST∆EM was proved to possess better tolerance to m-cresol than yeast, as it could grow in the liquid medium containing up to 2.5 g/L of m-cresol. These results showed that A. nidulans has great potential to be further engineered for industrial production of m-cresol.Key points• m-Cresol was de novo biosynthesized by a fungal chassis cell Aspergillus nidulans.• Promoter engineering and gene multiplication implemented the fine-tuned genes expression.• The titer of m-cresol reached 2.03 g/L via fed-batch culture.
