Harvesting Cellulose and Light to Power Butanol Biosynthesis

Send comments to George McArthur

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.
