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...

The efficiency of biofuel production depends on the photosynthetic activity of microbes; to maximize their growth it is necessary to continually monitor the environmental conditions. Traditional monitoring methods (such as using electrodes to measure CO2 consumption and/or O2 generation) are typically time- and labor-intensive, have low throughput,...

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...
