A high-throughput platform to inform biocatalyst optimization
Abstract
The burgeoning global demand for renewable energy and sustainable materials necessitates the development of innovative production platforms. Due to their vast biochemical diversity, genetic tractability and culture scalability, microorganisms have effectively limitless potential to produce small molecule chemicals for use as liquid and gas fuels and synthetic material precursors. Bacterial and yeast biocatalysts are being designed and built for these purposes, but this development is frequently stalled by a lack of detailed knowledge about how best to balance the metabolic needs of the microbial cells with the need to increase product output.
