    including pharmaceutical and agrochemical products, cosmetics, biofuels, and food additives.The extraction and isolation of natural products from living organisms have played an important role in the production of medicines. Along with nature bioactive compounds, synthetic biology has been developed to produce natural and non-natural compounds. This research topic provides recent advances, emerging challenges, and prospects of synthetic biology for bioactive compounds. has promising applications for improving the yield of bioactive compounds from industrial microbes as well as non-conventional hosts. Artificial and intelligent hosts are expected to combine carbon-fixing autotrophs and heterotrophs along with a high yield of bioactive compounds. It is believed that engineered microbes play a significant role in agricultural and medical biotechnology, with net zero greenhouse gas emissions.
