Abstract
The expanding field of synthetic biology requires diversification of microbial chassis to expedite the transition from a fossil fuel-dependent economy to a sustainable bioeconomy. Relying exclusively on established model organisms such as Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae may not suffice to drive the profound advancements needed in biotechnology. In this context, Cupriavidus necator, an extraordinarily versatile microorganism, has emerged as a potential catalyst for transformative breakthroughs in industrial biomanufacturing. This comprehensive book chapter offers an in-depth review of the remarkable technological progress achieved by C. necator in the past decade, with a specific focus on the fields of molecular biology tools, metabolic engineering, and innovative fermentation strategies. Through this exploration, we aim to shed light on the pivotal role of C. necator in shaping the future of sustainable bioprocessing and bioproduct development.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Biochemical Engineering/Biotechnology reviews actual trends in modern biotechnology. Its aim is to cover all aspects of this interdisciplinary technology where knowledge, methods and expertise are required for chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, genetics, chemical engineering and computer science. Special volumes are dedicated to selected topics which focus on new biotechnological products and new processes for their synthesis and purification. They give the state-of-the-art of a topic in a comprehensive way thus being a valuable source for the next 3 - 5 years. It also discusses new discoveries and applications.
