Engineered Methanotrophy: A Sustainable Solution for Methane-Based Industrial Biomanufacturing
2021
Nguyen Anh Duc, | Lee, Eun Yeol
Methane is a promising feedstock with high abundance and low cost for the sustainable production of biochemicals and biofuels. Methanotrophic bacteria are particularly interesting platforms for methane bioconversion as they can utilize methane as a carbon substrate. Recently, breakthroughs in the understanding of methane metabolism in methanotrophs as well as critical advances in systems metabolic engineering of methanotrophic bacteria have been reported. Here, we discuss the important gaps in the understanding of methanotrophic metabolism that have been uncovered recently and the current trends in systems metabolic engineering in both methanotrophic bacteria and non-native hosts to advance the potential of methane-based biomanufacturing.
