dc.description.abstract |
Photoautotrophic ethanol production using model cyanobacteria is an attractive technology
that offers potential for sustainable ethanol production as a biofuel. Model strains
of Synechocystis PCC6803 have been metabolically engineered to convert central metabolic
intermediates such as pyruvate to acetaldehyde via cloned heterologous pyruvate
decarboxylase and from acetaldehyde to ethanol via cloned homologous or heterologous
alcohol dehydrogenase. While the technology is now proven, strategies are required to
increase the ethanol levels through metabolic and genetic engineering and in addition,
production and process strategies are required to make the process sustainable. Here we
discuss both genetic and molecular strategies in combination with do wnstream strategies
that are being applied while also discussing challenges to future application. |
