Abstract:
Non-naturally occurring microorganisms are provided that produce taurine and/or taurine precursors, e.g., hypotaurine, sulfoacetaldehyde, or cysteate, utilizing exogenously added enzyme activities. Methods of producing taurine and/or taurine precursors in microbial cultures, and feed and nutritional supplement compositions that include taurine and/or taurine precursors produced in the microbial cultures, such as taurine- and/or taurine precursor-containing biomass, are also provided.
