General synthesis methods of succinic acid and succinate

This article discusses the importance of succinic acid and succinate in industry and pharmaceuticals and the order in which they are synthesized. Succinic acid is widely used in the chemical industry as a raw material for the production of important chemicals. Therefore, obtaining succinic acid and its salts from renewable sources is in great demand. Japanese scientists have succeeded in creating such technology. They found that when cyanobacteria are above the ideal temperature, the synthesis of succinic acid in these bacteria becomes more intense. The authors of the work published in Metabolic Engineering used bioengineering methods of metabolic pathways, as a result of which they were able to create the most efficient strain of microorganisms in the world for biosuccinate production and develop technology for its cultivation.
