The present disclosure provides for genetically modified organisms that provide numerous health benefits but also have an improved flavor profile and a more palatable aroma for the consumer of the organism.

The present disclosure provides for genetically modified organisms that provide numerous health benefits but also have an improved flavor profile and a more palatable aroma for the consumer of the organism.

The present invention generally related to a modified microbial cell capable of producing high levels of spermidine and/spermidine derivatives. The genetically modified microbial cell comprises at least one modification to native spermidine biosynthetic pathway via putrescine together with genes involved in the S-adenosylmethionine biosyntheticpathway.

Provided herein, among other things, is an engineered non-plant cell that produces a tropane alkaloid product, a precursor of a tropane alkaloid product, or a derivative of a tropane alkaloid product by means of a complement of biosynthetic enzymes and a complement of transporter proteins. A method for producing a tropane alkaloid, a precursor of a tropane alkaloid product, or a derivative of a tropane alkaloid product that makes use of the cell is also described.
