The establishment of a bio-based circular economy is imperative in tackling the climate crisis and advancing sustainable development. In this realm, the creation of microbial cell factories is central to generating a variety of chemicals and material...
Knowledge mining from synthetic biology journal articles for machine learning (ML) applications is a labor-intensive process. The development of natural language processing (NLP) tools, such as GPT-4, can accelerate the extraction of published inform...
Bio-based production of chemicals and materials has attracted much attention due to the urgent need to establish sustainability and enhance human health. Metabolic engineering (ME) allows purposeful modification of cellular metabolic, regulatory, and...
The cryptic secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) far outnumber currently known secondary metabolites. Heterologous production of secondary metabolite BGCs in suitable chassis facilitates yield improvement and discovery of new-to-nat...
Iterative design-build-test-learn (DBTL) cycles are routinely performed during microbial strain development. This useful approach integrates computational strain design, genetic engineering, fermentation testing, and omics analysis to reveal and reso...
Algal biofuel is regarded as one of the ultimate solutions for renewable energy, but its commercialization is hindered by growth limitations caused by mutual shading and high harvest costs. We overcome these challenges by advancing machine learning t...
Alcohol-forming fatty acyl reductases (FARs) catalyze the reduction of thioesters to alcohols and are key enzymes for microbial production of fatty alcohols. Many metabolic engineering strategies utilize FARs to produce fatty alcohols from intracellu...
Metabolic engineering for developing industrial strains capable of overproducing bioproducts requires good understanding of cellular metabolism, including metabolic reactions and enzymes. However, metabolic pathways and enzymes involved are still unk...
In order to make renewable fuels and chemicals from microbes, new methods are required to engineer microbes more intelligently. Computational approaches, to engineer strains for enhanced chemical production typically rely on detailed mechanistic mode...
Retrobiosynthesis allows the designing of novel biosynthetic pathways for the production of chemicals and materials through metabolic engineering, but generates a large number of reactions beyond the experimental feasibility. Thus, an effective metho...
