Synthetic microbiology as the enabling technology for the production of new‐to‐Nature products. The EU‐funded project SinFonia (Synthetic biology‐guided engineering of Pseudomonas putida for biofluorination) is a transnational effort aimed at developing novel biochemistries in the platform strain P. putida KT2440. Synthetic microbiology will bring non‐biological elements, such as halogens, into the core metabolism of this bacterium for the sake of whole‐cell catalysis, resulting in new‐to‐Nature products containing fluorine. The ultimate outcomes of the project include the creation of bio‐based enterprises and jobs towards a sustainable EU bioeconomy.
