Abstract:
The present invention provides methods and compositions for increasing lignin degradation to produce a biological product. Also provided are methods for increasing expression of laccase in a bacterial species to produce increased lignin degradation. Also provided are bacterial cells and commodities or commodity produces produced from such methods.
Abstract:
The present invention is related to the fields of bioplastics. In particular, a strain of photosynthetic cyanobacteria (i.e. blue-green algae) having a high growth rate was engineered to overexpress limonene synthase. These engineered cyanobacteria improve auto-sedimentation for biomass harvest and provide for plastic bioremediation capture. Further, machine-learning methods are provided for improving some of the aspects of cultivating cyanobacteria including, but not limited to, assessing real-time light availability and predicting real-time algae growth rates to increase a cyanobacteria biomass.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to increasing bioproduct yield in plants. In particular, the invention relates increasing the yield of bioproduct synthesized by a plant per unit mass of plant biomass. The bioproduct can be a carbon-based bioproduct, specifically it may be a terpene, and more specifically it may be squalene.

Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for increasing plant biomass and plant seed yield through overexpression of a PHB gene. Also provided are plants with increased biomass and seed yield comprising overexpression of a PHB gene produced by such methods. Plants described herein may be used, for example, for improved production of biofuels.
Abstract:
The invention relates to genetic constructs encoding a compartmenting peptide, wherein expression of the compartmenting peptide leads to formation of a droplet body comprising a targeted biological product, and to vectors including such constructs. The invention also relates to methods of increasing the yield of a biological product in a plant, and to methods for producing a transgenic plant which produces an increased yield of a biological product. The invention also relates to transgenic plants, host cells, plant propagation products and plant parts. The invention also relates to the biological products themselves, produced according to the invention.
