Metabolic Engineering von Cyanobakterien für nachhaltiges Bioplastik

Abstract

Global crises like climate change require the transformation of our industry towards more sustainability. Applying metabolic engineering to cyanobacteria promises to use these phototrophic bacteria for the biosynthesis of carbon-neutral products. As one example, we present how recent advances in basic research have now led to the ability to produce high quantities of bioplastics in cyanobacteria.
