Metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli for biosynthesis of β‐nicotinamide mononucleotide from nicotinamide

Summary The β‐nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is a key intermediate of an essential coenzyme for cellular redox reactions, NAD. Administration of NMN is reported to improve various symptoms, such as diabetes and age‐related physiological decline. Thus, NMN is attracting much attention as a promisi...
