Maleate is one of the most important unsaturated four-carbon dicarboxylic acids. It serves as an attractive building block in cosmetic, polymer, and pharmaceutical industries. Currently, industrial production of maleate relies mainly on chemical synthesis using benzene or butane as the starting materials under high temperature, which suffers from strict reaction conditions and low product yield. Here, we propose a novel biosynthetic pathway for maleate production in engineered Escherichia coli. We screened a superior sali
