Detalle de: Synthetic microbial consortia-based platform for flavonoids production using synthetic biology (SynBio4Flav)

Coordinator and CSIC PI: Juan Nogales (CNB-CSIC).

By using synthetic biology, the SynBio4Flav project aims to provide a cost-effective alternative to current flavonoid production. SynBio4Flav’s scientific challenge is to produce flavonoids by breaking down their complex biosynthetic pathways into standardized specific parts, which can be transferred to engineered microorganisms within Synthetic Microbial Consortia to promote flavonoid assembly through distributed catalysis. The project’s ultimate goal is to deliver a paradigm shift in biotechnological manufacturing of complex natural chemicals. SBG is the lead coordinator and is in charge of the BIO computer-aided design of synthetic microbial consortia overproducing functionalized flavonoids.
