The disclosure provides biosynthetic platforms that generate olivetolic acid and its analogues at high titers from microbes, and in cell free systems.

The disclosure discloses recombinant Bacillus subtilis for synthesizing guanosine diphosphate fucose and a construction method and application thereof. The recombinant Bacillus subtilis is obtained by intensively expressing guanylate kinase and nucleotide diphosphokinase genes and expressing exogenous fucokinase and phosphate guanylyltransferase genes in a genome of Bacillus subtilis 168. According to the disclosure, a bacterial strain for synthesizing the guanosine diphosphate fucose is obtained by reconstructing the Bacillus subtilis 168, with a volume of intracellular accumulation up to 196.15 g/L. According to the disclosure, by intensively expressing the guanylate kinase and nucleotide diphosphokinase genes, and enhancing the supply of intracellular GDP-L-fucose composition cofactors, the synthesis of the guanosine diphosphate fucose is promoted. The construction method for the recombinant Bacillus subtilis of the disclosure is simple and convenient to use, thus having good application prospects.

This invention is an improved method of robust and scalable production of precursors of active cannabinoids, including geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP) and/or cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), in a methylotrophic yeast host cell. The improved methods incorporate a polypeptide encoding an Erg20 variant (F98W/N128W) into a methylotrophic yeast host cell, for example Pichia pastoris (Komagataella phaffii), that biases the natural production of FPP and GPP towards GPP, a precursor to the intermediate CBGA, crucial to the synthesis of active cannabinoids.

Disclosed are novel nitrated psilocybin derivative compounds and pharmaceutical and recreational drug formulations containing the same. The nitrated psilocybin derivative compounds may be chemically synthesized or biochemically synthesized in host cells.
