Dipicolinic acid (DPA), a cyclic diacid, has garnered significant interest due to its potential applications in antimicrobial agents, antioxidants, chelating reagents, and polymer precursors. However, its natural bioproduction is limited since DPA is only accumulated in Bacillus and Clostridium species during sporulation. Thus, heterologous production by engineered strains is of paramount importance for developing a sustainable biological route for DPA production.
