The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to ZymoChem, Inc. to develop tools and techniques for engineering Bacillus licheniformis bacteria strains to convert sugars derived from biomass into biopolymers. The project would also involve establishing a fermentation-based process for strain engineering in a controlled bioreactor followed by development of a process for recovering the biopolymer. The project would be completed over three Budget Periods (BPs), with a Go/No-Go Decision Point in between each BP.
