Protein Production for Cell-Free Biomanufacturing: Application to Biomanufactured Aviation Fuel
Organizations: Invizyne Technologies and University of Georgia
Researchers are developing a novel cell-free approach for isobutanol production. This technology, from member Invizyne, creates complex yet robust cell-free enzyme systems that sustainably and affordably produce diverse chemicals.
Currently, enzyme production has been a logistical hurdle for large-scale, cell-free biomanufacturing. This project will help manufacturers take the next step toward cell-free biomanufacturing by developing an enzyme production and processing pipeline and deploying the technology in 100L pilot-scale facilities. Isobutanol is a commodity chemical and precursor to biomanufactured aviation fuel.
Project dates: 2024 – present
