Metabolic engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for co-production of ethanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol from sugarcane molasses
3-Methyl-1-butanol (3MB) is a promising renewable solvent, drop-in fuel, and precursor for various industrial products, including flavors, fragrances, and surfactants. Due to the myriad of intertwined...

📃🥳 Proud to share the latest research from our lab! Yanmei and colleagues used high-throughput screening and parallel metabolic engineering to optimize S. cerevisiae chassis strains for the production of limonene 🍋. You can read all about it here 👇: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Beyond CEN.PK - parallel engineering of selected S. cerevisiae strains reveals that superior chassis strains require different engineering approaches for limonene production
Genetically engineered microbes are increasingly utilized to produce a broad range of high-value compounds. However, most studies start with only a ve…

We are searching for a postdoc in Marine Phytoplankton Metabolism and Carbon Storage! You'll get the chance to work in Belgium to combine high-throughput metabolomics and enzymes to study how microbes naturally sequester atmospheric carbon in organic marine molecules!
