Abstract
Porphyrin compounds are versatile heterocyclic molecules with diverse applications. However, their high-level production is limited by strict biosynthetic regulation and low catalytic efficiency of pathway enzymes. This forum article focuses on recent breakthroughs in porphyrin biosynthesis across various species, aiming to promote the sustainable production of porphyrins through synthetic biology.
