The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to White Dog Labs to design, create, and test enhanced bacterial host organisms and integrate them with an optimized bioreactor system for more efficient production of biofuels.
Design, creation and in-lab testing of candidate bacterial strains would be completed at the microbiology laboratory of White Dog Labs in New Castle, Delaware. Operation and optimization of the bioreactor system and integration of the bacterial host with the bioreactor would be completed at the fermentation/scale-up facility of White Dog Labs also in New Castle, Delaware. The facilities where the proposed activities would occur were purpose-built for the type of activities being proposed; therefore, no new or modified permits would be required, and no construction of new facilities or physical modifications to existing facilities would occur as a result of the proposed project.
