In this project, researchers from CHAIN and the University of Nottingham aim to develop processtechnology that utilises methanotrophic bacteria to ferment methane into valuable nutritionalsupplements (lipids) for animal feed. Methane is a low cost and sustainable feedstock that can beproduced from fracking or from a variety of renewable sources, including anaerobic digestion which isprevalent in the UK and Europe. Using specialist synthetic biology tools, the partners plan to engineermethanotrophs to ferment methane to produce a fish oil replacement in high yield.

在这个项目中，来自CHAIN和诺丁汉大学的研究人员旨在开发利用甲烷营养细菌将甲烷发酵成动物饲料中有价值的营养补充剂（脂质）的工艺技术。甲烷是一种低成本和可持续的原料，可以从水力压裂或各种可再生资源中生产，包括在英国和欧洲流行的厌氧消化。利用专业的合成生物学工具，合作伙伴计划设计甲烷氧化菌来发酵甲烷，以高产率生产鱼油替代品。
