Joint BioEnergy Institute Researchers Combine Systems
Biology with Genetic Engineering to Improve Production of Isopentenol in E.Coli
In the on-going effort to develop advanced biofuels as a
clean, green and sustainable source of liquid transportation fuels, researchers
at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) have
identified microbial genes that can improve both the tolerance and the
production of biogasoline in engineered strains of Escherichia coli.
