Characterising strains with engineered acetyl‐CoA synthesis pathways: (A) growth profiles; (B) nerolidol titre at 72 h and overall specific nerolidol production rate from 0 to 72 h; (C) farnesol and geranylgeraniol titre at 72 h; (D) maximum specific growth rate. Two‐phase flask cultivation on 20 g l⁻¹ glucose was employed. For B, D and E, two‐tailed Welch’s t‐test was used for statistical analysis relative to N501RU: n, P> 0.1; m, P ∈ [0.05, 0.1]; s, P < 0.05. Mean values ± standard deviations are shown (N ≥ 4).
