| Abstract |
The biotechnological production of isoprene and isopentenol has recently been studied. Isoprene, which is currently made mainly from petroleum, is an important platform chemical for synthesizing pesticides, medicines, oil additives, fragrances, and more and is especially important in the rubber production industry. Isopentenols, which have better combustion properties than well-known biofuels (ethanol), have recently received more attention. Supplies of petroleum, the conventional source of isoprene and isopentenols, are unsustainable, and chemical synthesis processes could cause serious environmental problems. As an alternative, the biosynthesis of isoprene and isopentenols in cell factories is more sustainable and environmentally friendly. With a number of advantages over other microorganisms, Escherichia coli is considered to be a powerful workhorse organism for producing these compounds. This review will highlight the recent advances in metabolic engineering for isoprene and isopentenol production, especially using E. coli cell factories. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 August 2018.
All research outputs
#4,519,483
of 24,119,703 outputs
Outputs from Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology
#1,098
of 8,034 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#83,629
of 330,955 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology
#24
of 155 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,119,703 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 80th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,034 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 330,955 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 155 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
