Catalytic Hydrogenolysis of Glycerol to 1-Propanol Using Bifunctional Catalysts in an Aqueous Media
(University of Waterloo, 2016-10-26)Biodiesel is an attractive alternative fuel obtained from renewable resources and glycerol is produced as a major byproduct in the biodiesel industry. Upgrading glycerol to other valuable chemicals will contribute to an ... -
Manipulating the Sleeping Beauty Mutase Operon in Engineered Escherichia Coli for Controlled Biosynthesis of 1-Propanol and Other Value-Added Chemicals
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-02)A great fraction of the world’s energy requirements are presently met through the unrestricted use of fossil-derived fuels. However, due to the anticipated demise of these energy sources and the environmental and socioeconomic ... -
Strain engineering and bioprocessing strategies for biobased production of porphobilinogen in Escherichia coli
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-04)Strain engineering and bioprocessing strategies were applied for biobased production of porphobilinogen (PBG) using Escherichia coli as the cell factory. The non-native Shemin/C4 pathway was first implemented by heterologous ...
