Funded Activity Summary

Metabolic engineering to develop recombinant Zymomonas mobilis for the production of fuel ethanol and fermentation chemicals. This project will provide an opportunity to revolutionise the Australian chemical and sugar industries. Unlike the traditional methods of the petrochemical industry, bioconversion of carbohydrates to chemicals, such as succinic acid via fermentation is more considerably environmentally friendly. For the sugar industry this project will provide an opportunity to produce not only conventional sugar products but also high value commodities via the process integration of succinic acid production using agricultural residues, such as bagasse. This will contribute to significant levels of job creation in Australia, with the further benefit that such products will be important for both import replacement and export potential.
