Abstract
One-carbon (C1) greenhouse gases are the primary driver of global climate change. Fermenting these gases into higher-value products is an attractive strategy for climate action and sustainable development. C1 gas-fermenting bacteria are promising chassis organisms, but various technical challenges hinder scale-up to industrial production levels. Bacterial microcompartments (MCPs), proteinaceous organelles that encapsulate enzymatic pathways, may confer several metabolic benefits to increase the industrial potential of these bacteria. Many species of gas-fermenting bacteria are already predicted to natively produce MCPs. Here, we describe how these organelles can be identified and engineered to encapsulate pathways that convert C1 gases into valuable chemical products.
期刊介绍：
Current Opinion in Biotechnology (COBIOT) is renowned for publishing authoritative, comprehensive, and systematic reviews. By offering clear and readable syntheses of current advances in biotechnology, COBIOT assists specialists in staying updated on the latest developments in the field. Expert authors annotate the most noteworthy papers from the vast array of information available today, providing readers with valuable insights and saving them time.
As part of the Current Opinion and Research (CO+RE) suite of journals, COBIOT is accompanied by the open-access primary research journal, Current Research in Biotechnology (CRBIOT). Leveraging the editorial excellence, high impact, and global reach of the Current Opinion legacy, CO+RE journals ensure they are widely read resources integral to scientists' workflows.
COBIOT is organized into themed sections, each reviewed once a year. These themes cover various areas of biotechnology, including analytical biotechnology, plant biotechnology, food biotechnology, energy biotechnology, environmental biotechnology, systems biology, nanobiotechnology, tissue, cell, and pathway engineering, chemical biotechnology, and pharmaceutical biotechnology.
