Title: A framework for the identification of promising bio-based chemicals

Abstract

Recent progress in metabolic engineering and synthetic biology enables the use of microorganisms for the production of chemicals (“bio-based chemicals”). Yet, it is still unclear which chemicals have the highest economic prospect. Because of this, we develop a framework for the identification of such promising ones. Specifically, we first develop a genome-scale constraintbased metabolic modeling approach, which is used to identify a candidate pool of 209 chemicals (together with the estimated yield, productivity and residence time for each) from the intersection of the High-Production-Volume (HPV) chemicals and the KEGG and MetaCyc databases. Second, we design three screening criteria based on a chemical’s profit margin, market volume and market size. The total process cost, including the downstream separation cost, is systematically incorporated into the evaluation. Third, given the three aforementioned criteria, we identify 32 products as economically promising if the maximum yields can be achieved, and 22 products if the maximum productivities can be achieved. The breakeven titer that renders zero profit margin for each product is also presented. Comparisons between extracellular and intracellular production, as well as E. coli and S. cerevisiae systems are also discussed. The proposed framework provides important guidance for future studies in the production of bio-basedmore »« less

Technical Report Sara Bergan, Executive Director ; Brendan Jordan, Program Manager ; Subcontractors as listed on the report.

The following report contributes to our knowledge of how to economically produce wildlife-friendly grass mixtures for future fuel feedstocks in the northern plains. It investigates northern-adapted cultivars; management and harvest regimes that are good for yields, soils and wildlife; comparative analysis of monocultures and simple mixtures of native grasses; economic implications of growing grasses for fuel feedstocks in specific locations in the northern plains; and conversion options for turning the grasses into useful chemicals and fuels. The core results of this study suggest the following; Native grasses, even simple grass mixtures, can be produced profitably in the northern plains asmore »« less

Executive summary This multi-institutional project had as it main objectives to develop a fully integrated platform for the production of advanced biofuels, specifically butanol, from sustainably produced switchgrass and biomass sorghum and to develop economic models that could guide the establishment of a crop to fuel value chain. The project was organized into three work packages: WP1 Feedstock Development and Supply Activities in this WP resulted in the development of improved biomass sorghum cultivars and biomass hybrids that generate high yields of biomass with limited inputs of water, fertilizer and agri-chemicals and that display less recalcitrance to enzymatic saccharification atmore »« less

Machine learning framework for assessment of microbial factory performance

Journal Article Oyetunde, Tolutola ; Liu, Di ; Martin, Hector Garcia ; ... - PLoS ONE

Metabolic models can estimate intrinsic product yields for microbial factories, but such frameworks struggle to predict cell performance (including product titer or rate) under suboptimal metabolism and complex bioprocess conditions. On the other hand, machine learning, complementary to metabolic modeling necessitates large amounts of data. Building such a database for metabolic engineering designs requires significant manpower and is prone to human errors and bias. We propose an approach to integrate data-driven methods with genome scale metabolic model for assessment of microbial bio-production (yield, titer and rate). Using engineered E. coli as an example, we manually extracted and curated a datamore »« less

Carbon conserving microbial production of adipic acid from sugars and crude glycerol feedstocks

Technical Report Chokhawala, Harshal

Microbial processes are a sustainable and renewable alternative to using petroleum-dependent chemocatalytic processes for making chemicals. Yet, in contrast to petrochemical processes, microbial processes are simply not as carbon efficient. Most biosynthetic pathways to make chemicals from bio-based feedstocks (e.g., sugars, glycerol, carbon-rich waste streams) involve the loss of feedstock carbon as CO₂, limiting theoretical yields to <67%. This carbon loss is a major reason why many endeavors are not profitable when using microbes to produce chemicals. Feedstocks typically comprise more than half of the costs associated with bioprocesses. Thus, if microbes could direct most/all of the feedstock carbon tomore »« less

Petroleum-based liquid hydrocarbons is exclusively major energy source in the transportation sector. Thus, it is the major CO{sub 2} source which is the associated with greenhouse effect.

It is corresponding to a release of 0.53 gigatons of carbon per year (GtC/yr), which accounts for approximate 7.6 % of the current global release of CO{sub 2} from all of the fossil fuel usage (7 GtC/yr).
