Our scientists have a workflow for developing new microbial strains that makes it quicker, easier, and less expensive than existing methods. They have now used the workflow to design a bacterium that can make target molecules by converting a type of plant tissue that often goes to waste in agriculture and forest management. The approach will help make the biomanufacturing industry more sustainable . Using engineered microbes as microscopic factories has given the world steady sources of life-saving drugs, revolutionized the food industry, and allowed us to make sustainable versions of valuable chemicals previously made from petroleum.
