  2. 1. Metabolic engineering strategies to increase n-butanol production from cyanobacteria

    Author : Josefine Anfelt; Elton P. Hudson; Mathias Uhlén; Patrik R. Jones; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cyanobacteria; metabolic engineering; biofuels; butanol; synthetic scaffold; CRISPRi; solvent tolerance; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : The development of sustainable replacements for fossil fuels has been spurred by concerns over global warming effects. Biofuels are typically produced through fermentation of edible crops, or forest or agricultural residues requiring cost-intensive pretreatment. READ MORE

    Abstract : Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from human activities are driving climate change, but the pending crisis could be mitigated by a circular carbon economy where released CO2 is recycled into commodity chemicals. Autotrophic microbes can make a contribution by producing chemicals, such as biofuels, from CO2 and renewable energy. READ MORE

  5. 3. Synthetic biology approaches for improving production of fatty acid-derived compounds in cyanobacteria

    Author : Ivana Cengic; Elton P. Hudson; Mathias Uhlén; Annegret Wilde; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cyanobacteria; metabolic engineering; surface display; CRISPRi; fatty alcohols; fatty acid synthesis; aldehyde deformylating oxygenase; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : The environmental consequences associated with the use of fossil-sourced fuels and chemicals have brought with it a realization that future development must move in a more sustainable direction. Currently available biofuels or renewably produced chemical, such as bioethanol or biodiesel, are produced from microbial fermentation of sugar-rich crops or by chemical conversion of natural oils or fats.

  6. 4. On thermodynamic and kinetic constraints in autotrophic metabolism

    Author : Markus Janasch; Elton P. Hudson; Bas Teusink; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; autotrophic metabolism; cyanobacteria; microbial metabolic engineering; computational systems biology; biochemical thermodynamics; kinetic modelling; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Earth has entered a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene, defined by humanity’s impact on the environment with increased emissions of CO2 due to burning of fossil resource as a major contributor. To ensure a sustainable future, humanity has to move towards a circular economy, where released CO2 is re-captured and turned into resources. READ MORE

  7. 5. Sequence- and structure guided engineering of proteins and enzymes for biotechnology and health applications
