主讲内容简介：Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic prokaryotes capable of oxygenic photosynthesis that occupy numerous biological niches from cold oceans to terrestrial hot springs. These unicellular prokaryotes have rapid growth rates, minimal nutritional requirements, can consume CO2 from various sources, and utilise sunlight as a source of energy. Additionally, these organisms can synthesise various useful compounds with interesting bioactivities or applications such as phycocyanins, carotenoids, vitamins, polyhydroxyalkanoates or enzymes. All these features make them promising organisms for valorisation of CO2 and other waste streams in biorefineries. In recent years the advances in synthetic biology allowed for unprecedented expansion of the repertoire of products that can be produced from CO2 and now include: ethanol, isopropanol, isoprene, ethylene and many others. This talk will focus on our recent efforts in designing a microbial cell factory for the degradation of recalcitrant textile dyes, isolation and characterisation of high value products from thermophilic cyanobacteria and pursuit of an efficient chassis for industrial and environmental synthetic biology.
