Abstract:

NADPH is an important cofactor of microbial metabolism, which is a limiting factor in microbial amino acid
anabolism. This article reviews the biosynthesis of NADPH, its relationship with microbial production of amino acids, and
strategies to promote amino aicd biosynthesis by regulating NADPH metabolism with the aim of providing a reference for
improving the yield of amino acids.

Key words: NADPH, metabolism, amino acids, fermentation, strategies
