Cost-effective whole-cell biosynthesis of ursodeoxycholic acid using engineered Escherichia coli with a multienzyme cascade

Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) can be used as a drug to treat various liver and bile diseases. Currently, the biological synthesis of UDCA is predominantly conducted via a two-step enzymatic process in which synthesis is catalyzed by 7α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (7α-HSDH) and 7β-hydroxysteroid dehyd...
