Abstract:
Nicotinamide adenine nucleotide (NADH), the key cofactor in the metabolic network, plays an essential role in biochemical reaction and physiological function of industrial strains. Manipulation of NADH availability and form is an efficient and easy way to redirect the carbon flux to the target metabolites in industrial strains. We reviewed the physiological function of NADH. Detailed strategies to manipulate NADH availability are addressed. NADH manipulation to enhance metabolic function of industrial strains was discussed and potential solutions were suggested.
