Abstract:

The development of synthetic biology has witnessed rapid advancements, which has significantly promoted production innovations across multiple domains. In the cosmetics industry, the production methods of amino acid derivatives, which is a kind of pivotal raw materials in cosmetics, are experiencing groundbreaking innovations. The traditional methods for the production of amino acid derivatives have the problem of high production costs, and usually bring heavy burdens to the environment. Besides, the production stabilities of the target products are often unsatisfactory. The application of synthetic biology technology in the design and engineering of microbial cell factories for the bioproduction of amino acid derivatives, can greatly enhance the production efficiency and reduce the production costs of the target products. This innovative approach not only enhances the development of green biological manufacturing, but also benefits the demand of market for natural, safe, and functional cosmetic ingredients. In this review, an overall introduction to the utilization of amino acid derivatives in cosmetics industry was first provided. Subsequently, the strategies for the construction of high-producing strains for the bioproduction of amino acid derivatives were comprehensively summarized. The strategies have been broadly categorized into two groups, including enzyme conversion and microbial fermentation. The application of enzyme engineering, rational metabolic engineering, and non-rational screening in the construction of microbial cell factories for the production of amino acid derivatives were systematically introduced. Moreover, the current research advancements and the future anticipated trends in the biosynthesis of amino acid derivatives within the realm of cosmetic raw materials were outlined. With the support of the cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, synthetic biology will further promote the production innovation process, enabling efficient and eco-friendly biological manufacturing of a wider array of cosmetic raw materials. This ongoing evolution holds immense promise for the cosmetics industry, promising a future filled with sustainable and innovative products.
