Abstract:Marine red algal biomass is a promising feedstock for
sustainable
production of value-added chemicals. However, the major constituents
of red algal biomass, such as agar and carrageenan, are not easily
assimilated by most industrial metabolic chassis developed to date.
Synthetic biology offers a solution by utilizing nonmodel organisms
as metabolic chassis for consolidated biological processes. In this
study, the marine heterotrophic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas
atlantica T6c was harnessed as a metabolic chassi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
