The futur tastes like Stevia

After the assembly of the Mevalonate and the Steviol plasmids, the next step to accomplish is the co-expression of both the plasmids in S.cerevisiae to achieve an expression of the complete pathway and thus the production of steviol in an micro-organism. To determine whether steviol production in yeast could be revelant for industrial causes, the efficiency in terms of quality, quantity and time consumption has to be estimated and compared to the traditional way of producing.
