Developing fermentative terpenoid production for commercial usage

- Commercial production of isoprenoids from naturally producing organisms is rare.
- Heterologous isoprenoid production from yeast is a commercial reality.
- The mevalonate pathway is used for commercial heterologous isoprenoid production.
- Heterologous isoprenoid usage ranges from pharmaceuticals to jet and diesel fuel.
- Semi-synthetic artemisinin and β-farnesene are examples of commercial production.
