Description
The main objective is the sustainable production of biofuels and other value-added products using SYNGAS (synthesis gas) as feedstock. We will utilize Clostridium as biocatalysts which is able to use this gas as a carbon source. We will apply systems biology and metabolic engineering to these bacteria for the production of biofuels (butanol) and monomer precursors of bio-polymers (succinate, hydroxybutyrate and butanediol). This project is funded by the Programme Retos Colaboración of the Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (RTC-2014-1764-3).
