Biofuel Production: an odyssey from metabolic engineering to fermentation scale-up
Metabolic engineering has developed microbial cell factories that can convert renewable carbon sources into biofuels. Current molecular biology tools can efficiently alter enzyme levels to redirect carbon fluxes towards biofuel production, but low product yield and titer in large bioreactors prevent...
