  • Publication number: 20230175022
    Abstract: Provided herein are processes, such as commercially viable processes, of producing alkyl resorcinols, such as olivetol and olivetolic acid, and analogs of each thereof. Certain of these processes utilize a recombinant, heterologous host microorganism. Certain of the heterologous microorganisms include a Cannabis sativa olivetol synthase (which is a tetraketide synthase, csOLS). Certain of the heterologous microorganisms include a Cannabis sativa olivetolic acid cyclase (csOAC). Certain of the heterologous microorganisms include a Cannabis sativa acyl activating enzyme (csAAE), such as, without limitation, csAAE1. In certain of these processes, glucose is fermented. In certain of these processes, the fermentation further comprises a carboxylic acid, RCO2H where R is defined as herein, or a salt thereof. Certain of these processes provide olivetol and olivetolic acid in a combined amount of at least 3 g/liter.
