Growing fast on a formate diet: A metabolic engineering challenge in E. coli
This project aims to develop and characterize an E. coli strain capable of growing rapidly and efficiently on sustainable one-carbon compounds like... -
Metabolic engineering of thermophilic bacilli to produce lactate out of C1 renewable feedstocks
Replacing fossil fuels with renewable feedstocks to produce commodities becomes an urgent matter to face global warming. This project aims to produce... -
Seizing cell cycle of a synthetic cell
The perspective of a synthetic cell makes it possible to rewrite the rules governing life. This project focuses on the cell cycle, aiming at designing... -
What’s on the menu? Molecular cuisine, or how to feed a synthetic cell
We are what we eat, the common saying goes. It’s therefore not strange to propose the following: what synthetic cells shall be will depend on... -
Improving heterologous protein production by tweaking transcript elements
This project aims to elucidate the complex relationship between codon usage, mRNA secondary structures and translational elements to create a reliable...
