The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to the Kiverdi, Inc. to develop a transformation system for the photosynthetic bacterium, Cfl. aurantiacus that would optimize growth conditions at the bottle and bioreactor scale. The bacteria, via genetic medication, would then be used to produce terpenes with syngas as the feedstock.
