by Jim Lane (Biofuels Digest) Invizyne Technologies is making chemicals the cell-free way using synthetic biology and metabolic engineering. By inputting sugar and using engineered microbes, they can result in useful compounds and commodity chemicals, biofuels, fuel additives, fragrances, and pharmaceuticals.
James Bowie from UCLA/Invizyne Technologies offered this illuminating presentation on the steps involved using synthetic biochemistry to create commodity products, the advantages of using synthetic biochemistry like higher yields, easier optimization and product purification, as well as challenges like enzyme costs and stability, how they handle those challenges, how their cell-free approach works, and more READ MORE
