Metabolic Engineering of Non-Traditional Host Microorganisms

Wednesday, August 14, 2013: 8:00 AM-11:30 AM
Nautilus 1-2 (Sheraton San Diego)
Convener:
Christie Peebles - Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO
Non-traditional hosts systems provide a diverse genetic background which can serve as an advantageous production platform for a wide range of pharmaceuticals, biochemicals and biofuels.  This session will focus on metabolic engineering efforts in a range of non-model organisms which include but are not limited to plants, algae, cyanobacteria, archaea, and etc.
