The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to design and construct genetic tools for enhanced algal production of target chemicals in order to develop novel green algae and cyanobacteria bioproduction platforms. The proposed project is aimed at optimizing future yields of desired products through expanding knowledge of metabolic and regulatory systems that control or inhibit biosynthesis of polymer precursors in promising strains of algae.
