Methanol is an ideal feedstock for biomanufacturing and can be produced in large quantities from carbon dioxide via photocatalysis or electrolytic reduction, contributing to global carbon neutrality. In this study, we described an engineered Pichia pastoris strain capable of efficiently producing the monoterpene 1,8-cineole from methanol. First, a remarkable high-level synthesis of 1,8-cineole was achieved in Pichia pastoris by introducing an exogenous 1,8-cineole synthase, strengthening the MVA
