Synthetic Biology for the Bio-Production of Chemicals and Materials
Synthetic Biology is a combination of biological and engineering principles where DNA, RNA, proteins, and other biological components are designed and modified to create new biological systems, organisms, or biological machines. Its goal is to develop organisms or systems that either exist in nature or perform novel functions, aiding solutions in industrial, medical, energy, and environmental challenges.
Applications in Bio-Production of Chemicals and Materials
- Industrial Chemicals and Biofuels: Genetically modified microorganisms (such as bacteria, yeast) can be used to produce biofuels like ethanol, butanol, hydrogen, and bioplastics, surfactants, acids, amino acids, vitamins, etc.
- Natural Products and Nutrients: Synthetic biology enables large-scale ....
