Abstract:
Bacillus methanolicus is a thermophilic methylotrophic bacterium that grows quickly on methanol in sea water-based media. It has been engineered for chemical bioproduction from methanol, but its efficiency needs improvement for industrialization. Synthetic biology approaches such as metabolic modeling and genome editing can reprogram B. methanolicus for low-carbon biomanufacturing.
