Enhancing and fusing archaeal metabolism: a new approach towards bioenergy production

Research Project Outline

This project focuses on the Archaea, the third domain of life distinct from the Bacteria and Eucarya. We first aim to understand and enhance the various metabolic mechanisms of the Archaea involved in bioenergy production and biomass degradation. With the aim to develop microorganisms with novel bioenergy-producing capabilities, we will further explore the possibilities of fusing these functions via genome-scale DNA recombination.
