Developing the highly productive cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. 11901 as a commercial biomanufacturing platform

概述：该项目代表了爱丁堡大学和牛津屡获殊荣的生物技术初创公司CyanoCapture(www.Blueocapture.com)之间令人兴奋的合作。在这个项目中，您将带头进行高效蓝藻聚球藻的商业开发。Pcc 11901。您将专注于提高我们对Syn11901新陈代谢和生长的基本理解，并将开发合成生物学工具，使Syn11901成为一个生物工程平台。与CyanoCapture的研究人员密切合作，您将设计和测试创新的光生物反应器设计中的工程菌株，以从烟气中捕获二氧化碳。

Overview: This project represents an exciting collaboration between the University of Edinburgh and the award-winning biotech startup CyanoCapture (www.cyanocapture.com) in Oxford. In this project, you will spearhead the commercial development of the highly productive cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 11901. You will focus on improving our fundamental understanding of metabolism and growth in Syn11901, and will develop synthetic biology tools to progress Syn11901 as a bioengineering platform. Working closely with researchers at CyanoCapture, you will design and test engineered strains in their innovative photobioreactor design for capturing CO2 from flue gas.
