👉 Biosynthesis engineering, or biosynthesis engineering, is a specialized field within synthetic biology that focuses on the design and construction of biological systems for the production of valuable compounds, such as pharmaceuticals, biofuels, and specialty chemicals. This involves manipulating the genetic material of living organisms—typically bacteria, yeast, or plants—to enhance their metabolic pathways and enable them to synthesize specific molecules more efficiently. By introducing, deleting, or modifying genes, scientists can engineer microorganisms to produce novel compounds, optimize existing pathways for higher yields, or even create entirely new biosynthetic routes. This field leverages advanced tools in genetic engineering, metabolic engineering, and systems biology to create sustainable, cost-effective, and scalable bioproduction processes that can replace traditional chemical synthesis methods.
