Background Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) methods from atmospheric air, including direct air capture (DAC), is essential to limit the spread of global warming. However, current DAC approaches based on thermal and pressure swings are very energy intensive. Moisture-driven DAC using strong-base anion exchange resins (AER) reversibly binds CO2 from ambient...

Cyanobacteria are model species for studying photosynthesis and recently have been gaining increased attention for their ability to produce renewable fuels and chemicals by harvesting solar energy and recycling carbon dioxide. Unfortunately, despite all the recent research and exciting achievements made regarding cyanobacteria, genetic transformation...

Translational coupling is a form of gene regulation in which the translation of one protein influences another. It is widely used in prokaryotes to control the production of genes within a metabolic pathway, or in bacteriophages to efficiently regulate translation within their extremely compact genomes.Researchers at Arizona State University have developed...

The market interest in bioproduction of chemicals and polymers is steadily growing, driven by sustainability concerns and increashttp://azte.technologypublisher.com/files/sites/ncs-m12-182,-m14-208l,-m14-232l.pdfed environmental awareness. However, most production technologies rely on petroleum or food crops as feedstocks. In the coming decades, materials...

Market interest in biosynthesis of important commodity chemicals in a sustainable manner is continually growing, driven by increased environmental awareness. However, most conventional production technologies rely on petroleum as feedstocks. Using engineered microorganisms to synthesize industrially relevant chemical building blocks from renewable resources...

Transportation fuels and many chemical products are derived from and depend on petroleum, which has one of the biggest impacts on our unsustainable way of living. Production of cost-competitive fuels and chemicals by microbial fermentation using renewable feedstock is a desirable alternative to petroleum-based production. Woody/plant biomass, especially...

Microalgae are very useful biological systems for capturing carbon dioxide (CO2 ) and generating biomass and many useful products. Increasing the CO2 concentration in gas supplied to a microalgae growth system can improve its productivity many fold over using atmospheric air. Flue gas could be a good source of CO2 -enriched gas; however, its usefulness...

The market interest in biosynthesis of important commodity chemicals is steadily growing, driven by sustainability concerns and by increased environmental awareness. However, most production technologies rely on petroleum or food crops as feedstocks. Phenol is one such useful and versatile chemical, which is typically derived from petrochemical feedstocks;...
