766 Advances in Metabolic Engineering and Bioinformatics for Biofuels I: Strain Optimization

Friday, November 8, 2013: 8:30 AM
Golden Gate 4 (Hilton)
Description:
This session will cover the application of metabolic engineering to improve strain performance, particularly for the production of next-generation biofuel targets or improving the titers and yields of these targets. The approaches presented could include pathway engineering, global cellular engineering, synthetic biology and model-based approaches.
