Abstract:
As a class of natural compounds ubiquitous in nature, diverse terpenoids exhibit a broad spectrum of applications in human endeavors. The efficient discovery of novel terpenoids and the establishment of a terpene library for broad utilization represent pressing challenges in terpenoid natural product research. Various microbial platforms offer abundant precursors for terpene biosynthesis from diverse sources. Leveraging artificial intelligence for enzyme function prediction and screening can facilitate the identification of terpenoid synthesis components with innovative mechanisms. Automated high-throughput bio-foundry workstations can expedite the construction of terpenoid libraries, providing substantial time and labor savings. The integration of multiple strategies promises to yield substantial advancements in the exploration of valuable terpenoids.
