Research Project Outline
Our research team is creating a novel cyanobacterial system, designated as “Cyanofactory”, for the production of biofuel-related compounds. The Cyanofactory is composed of 1) a synthetic cyanobacterial host strains, 2) synthetic operons for the production of biofuel-related compounds, and 3) the employment of ion-liquids for downstream processing. The Cyanofactory realizes the sustainable production of biofuel-related compounds based on synthetic cyanobacterial processes with minimal energy and waste.
