Proof Of Concept

Our team has developed new applications for biosynthesis, the conversion of short chains of carbon into long chains of organic matter through microbial transformation.

At present, most other studies can only stop at the conversion of carbon dioxide into acetaldehyde and acetic acid, and the products have low added value.

Through our construction, lycopene with 40 carbon can be produced under the catalysis of electrochemistry and biological enzymes. This helped the IGEM team use microbes as catalysts to convert short - stranded carbon into long - bonded electrochemistry. At the same time, the mathematical modeling of microbial growth and long-chain organics was also carried out. The synthesis of the compound has a good correlation, which provides some useful help for later teams.
