PHA is currently produced from corn and sugar cane and requires high water consumption.
One one side the mentioned crops could be better used for human consumption , on the other land and water employiment is not sustainable.
Our approach will lead to : 46 times less water use and 24 times less land use.
The overall development of the ENGICOIN bioreactor will integrate different components:
Our engineering foresees diverse systems metabolic engineering techniques which will be chosen according to their suitability to the specific purposes and which will encompass both the modulation of pathways inherent to the host strain (by e.g. transporter engineering, pathway rerouting, cofactor optimization, promoter engineering, and enzyme evolution for activity optimization) and the establishment of de novo pathway.
