Structure-guided optimisation of light-driven microalgae cell factories

每两个小时，地球获得的太阳能比我们整个全球经济一年所需的太阳能还要多。该项目旨在设计先进的单细胞绿藻，以实现高效的太阳能捕捉，为下一代光驱动生物制造提供动力。其意义是促进使用微藻的可持续产品的工业规模生产。这对经济、社会和环境都是有益的。项目成果旨在推动技术从高价值的微藻生物制造，如药品(如生物制品)，到中值产品(如精细化学品)，再到低成本产品，如可再生燃料，以帮助实现关键的联合国可持续发展目标。

Every two hours Earth receives more solar energy than is required to power our entire global economy for a year. This project aims to engineer advanced single cell green algae for high-efficiency solar light capture, to power next-generation light-driven bio-manufacture. The significance is to advance industry-scale production of sustainable products using microalgae. This is economically, socially and environmentally beneficial. Project outcomes are designed to advance the technology from high-value bio-manufacture in microalgae, such as pharmaceuticals (e.g. biologicals), to mid-value products (e.g. fine chemicals) through to low-cost products, such as renewable fuels to help deliver key UN Sustainable Development Goals.
