Abstract:
Mannitol is a readily accessible component of seaweed with higher energy content than glucose, making it a promising feedstock for biomanufacturing. Microorganisms have been engineered for converting mannitol into various bioproducts. Microbial strain discovery and synthetic biology approach will advance biomanufacturing using mannitol and other complex components of marine biomass.
