Biosynthesis of butanol biofuel by a synthetic metabolic pathway in E. coli
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.
Motivation and References
Environmental, Geopolitical, etc.
Background
Butanol production, cellulase, proteorhodopsin (associated organisms, etc.)
Biobrick and pathway design
Include plasmid and metabolic pathway diagrams.
Methods and Materials
GCMS, etc.
Results and Conclusions
TBD
