The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Lygos, Inc. to design, develop, and test an aerobic, low pH yeast process for production of malonic acid. Strains of P. kudriavzevii would be optimized to improve malonic acid production through multiple fermentation cycles, in which experimental data would be used to inform machine learning algorithms designed to select for optimal strain characteristics. The project would be completed over three Budget Periods (BPs), with a Go/No-Go Decision Point in between each BP.
