A Computational Analysis of Stoichiometric Constraints and Trade-Offs in Cyanobacterial Biofuel Production
Cyanobacteria are a promising biological chassis for the synthesis of renewable fuels and chemical bulk commodities. Significant efforts have been devoted to improve the yields of cyanobacterial products. However, while the introduction and heterologous expression of product-forming pathways is often feasible, the interactions and incompatibilities of product synthesis with the host metabolism ...
متن کاملIndustrial-strength ecology: trade-offs and opportunities in algal biofuel production.
Microalgae represent one of the most promising groups of candidate organisms for replacing fossil fuels with contemporary primary production as a renewable source of energy. Algae can produce many times more biomass per unit area than terrestrial crop plants, easing the competing demands for land with food crops and native ecosystems. However, several aspects of algal biology present unique cha...
متن کاملWetlands, Wildlife, and Water Quality: Targeting and Trade Offs
Cost-effective targeting of conservation activities has only recently been addressed by economists. Most work to date has focused on finding the best locations to set aside land for the protection of biodiversity. An economic approach to the problem, where biodiversity reserve networks are delineated to maximize the number of species protected subject to a budget constraint, has been shown to b...
متن کاملSoil Conservation or Commodity Programs: Trade Offs during the Transition to Dryland Crop Production
irrigation levels decline and dryland acreage inPredicted crop yields and wind erosion rates from creases, the incidence of wind erosion is expected to a multi-year/multi-crop growth simulation model increase. For the Texas High Plains, this is occurring provided input into a multi-period recursive QP at a time when farm policy is emphasizing long-term model to evaluate erosion implications dur...
متن کاملThe Trade-Offs from Pattern Bargaining with Uncertain Production Costs
Pattern bargaining is a negotiating strategy that is often employed by industry-wide unions in oligopolistic industries to set wages. The conventional wisdom is that pattern bargaining “takes labor out of competition” and therefore softens bargaining between the union and firms, resulting in higher industry wide wages. However, this does not explain why firms agree to pattern bargaining. We int...
