Metabolic engineering strategies to increase n-butanol production from cyanobacteria
The development of sustainable replacements for fossil fuels has been spurred by concerns over global warming effects. Biofuels are typically produced through fermentation of edible crops, or forest or agricultural residues requiring cost-intensive pretreatment. An alternative is to use photosynthetic cyanobacteria to directly convert CO2 and sunlight into fuel. In this thesis, the cyanobacteri...
متن کاملToward systems metabolic engineering in cyanobacteria
We recently assessed the metabolism of Synechocystis sp PCC6803 through a constraints-based reconstruction and analysis approach and identified its main metabolic properties. These include reduced metabolic robustness, in contrast to a high photosynthetic robustness driving the optimal autotrophic metabolism. Here, we address how these metabolic features affect biotechnological capabilities of ...
متن کاملRegulation of magnesium balance: lessons learned from human genetic disease
Magnesium (Mg(2+)) is the fourth most abundant cation in the body. Thus, magnesium homeostasis needs to be tightly regulated, and this is facilitated by intestinal absorption and renal excretion. Magnesium absorption is dependent on two concomitant pathways found in both in the intestine and the kidneys: passive paracellular transport via claudins facilitates bulk magnesium absorption, whereas ...
متن کاملWater balance in desert Drosophila: lessons from non-charismatic microfauna.
Water stress is a particularly important problem for insects and other small organisms in arid environments. Cactophilic fruit flies in the genus Drosophila have invaded deserts on numerous occasions, including multiple independent invasions of North American deserts. Because the evolutionary history of this genus is so well studied, we can investigate the mechanisms of adaptation in a rigorous...
متن کاملMetabolic balance sheets.
toichiometric analysis has the same function in biochemistry as book-keeping has in business. Both deal with the inputs and outputs in flow systems, and studying the stoichiometric structure of a metabolic network might seem only slightly more exciting than a visit to an accountant's office. Times change, however, and progress in systems biology will involve paying closer attention to stoichiom...
