Harvesting Biomass and Light to Power Butanol Biosynthesis
At the 2007 iGEM Jamboree, we will present our synthetic biology approach to the design and implementation of a novel metabolic pathway in E. coli that utilizes cellulose and sunlight as sole energy sources for the biosynthesis of butanol, an alternative liquid transportation fuel.

Approach
We have designed a metabolic system capable of cellulose degradation and light metabolism in order to power the biosynthesis of butanol fuel. This hybrid molecular engine is built from standard biological parts and may be used in future designs in order to drive forward cellular chemistry.
