Establishment of A Marine Vibrio Platform in The Bioconversion ofSeaweed Carbohydrates to BioEthanol

在全球变暖的这一时期维持可持续的生态系统，发展可再生能源领域的关键技术已成为一项重要挑战；利用海洋生物物质生产生物燃料的方法可能是未来最关键的技术之一。在这项研究中，我们研究了全基因组代谢途径预测，藻酸盐降解和乙醇产生相关基因的功能分析，以及两种独特的海洋弧菌的转录分析，这两种弧菌都能够从海藻碳水化合物中产生生物乙醇。我们成功地利用功能和转录信息重建了代谢途径，作为海洋弧菌的平台。

In maintaining a sustainable ecosystem in this period of global warming, development of key technologies in the field of renewable energy sources has become an important challenge; a method of biofuel production from marine biomass could be one of the mostcrucial technologies in the future. In this study, we investigated genome wide metabolic pathway prediction, functional analysis of the genes responsible for the alginate degradation and ethanol production, and the transcriptomic analysis in two unique marine vibrios, both of which are capable of producing bioethanol from seaweed carbohydrates. We successfully reconstructed the metabolic pathway with functional and transcriptomic information as a marine vibrio platform.
