Understanding and improving microbial biofuel tolerance as a result of efflux pump expression through genetic engineering and mathematical modeling

Recent advances in synthetic biology have enabled the construction of non-native metabolic pathways for production of next-generation biofuels in microbes. One such biofuel is the jet-fuel precursor α-pinene, which can be processed into high-energy pinene dimers. However, accumulation of toxic biofu...
