In recent years, there has been increasing interest in microbial biotechnology for the production of value-added compounds from renewable resources. Pseudomonas species have been proposed as a suitable workhorse for high-value secondary metabolite production because of their unique characteristics for fast growth on sustainable carbon sources, a clear inherited background, versatile intrinsic metabolism with diverse enzymatic capacities, and their robustness in an extreme environment. It has also been demonstrated that metabolically engineered Pseudomonas strains can produce several industrially valuable aromatic chemicals and natural products such as phenazines, polyhydroxyalkanoates, rhamnolipids, and insecticidal proteins from renewable feedstocks with remarkably high yields suitable for commercial application. In this review, we summarize cell factory construction in Pseudomonas for the biosynthesis of native and non-native bioactive compounds in P. putida, P. chlororaphis, P. aeruginosa, as well as pharmaceutical proteins production by P. fluorescens. Additionally, some novel strategies together with metabolic engineering strategies in order to improve the biosynthetic abilities of Pseudomonas as an ideal chassis are discussed. Finally, we proposed emerging opportunities, challenges, and essential strategies to enable the successful development of Pseudomonas as versatile microbial cell factories for the bioproduction of diverse bioactive compounds.
