Using CO2 for production of poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) in cyanobacteria
Wir bitten um Verständnis, dass die Informationen über dieses Projekt derzeit nur in englischer Sprache verfügbar sind.
Goals
- Quantitative process development for PHB production from CO2
- Combine molecular non GMP techniques with sound bioprocess engineering
Approach
- Rational media design
- Quantitative analysis of growth phases under different limitations
- UV mutanogenesis
Novelty
- Highest PHB content ever reported
- Promising time space yields
- Patented technology
Outlook
- Targetted product property analysis
- Include targetted GMO modifications
