Metabolic Engineering of Microorganisms Toward Sustainable Biomanufacturing of Chemicals and PolymersMicrobial cells have long served as workhorses for converting renewable feedstocks into value-added products. Their innate biosynthetic capabilities, however, are frequently inadequate to reach the productivity and yield levels demanded for economically viable industrial processes. Metabolic engineering has therefore been developed as a powerful means of reprogramming host strains so that target compounds can be produced efficiently across a range of cultivation conditions. More recently, the i..

Growth-decoupled biomanufacturing platform for non-food feedstocksWaste-derived one-carbon (C1) and two-carbon (C2) compounds are emerging as promising alternatives to conventional sugar-based feedstocks for biomanufacturing, owing to their low cost, wide availability, and sustainability. However, achieving commercially viable titer, rate, and yield from C1 and C2 substrates remains a fundamental challenge, as native bow-tie metabolic architectures of industrial host organisms inherently divert flux toward biomass and competing byproducts at the expense of target product synthesis. To address ..

Decoding Host Physiology Through Programmable Microbial Interfaces

연사

Prof. Matthew W. Chang

National University of Singapore

Microbes residing at epithelial interfaces continuously exchange metabolites, signals, and biomolecules with their hosts, influencing physiology across multiple scales. Advances in synthetic biology have enabled the programming of commensal microbes with defined sensing, metabolic, and regulatory functions. While much of the field has focused on using these capabilities for therapeutic intervention, an emerging opportunity is to use programmable microbes as experimental systems for understanding how host physiology is organized.In this talk, I will discuss our efforts to engineer commensal mic..

Root exudate “super-consumers” for next-generation agricultural biologicalsAcross agriculture, bacterial inoculants protect against stress, improve plant growth, deliver nutrients, fight pathogens, and repel insects. These bacterial survive in the rhizosphere by consuming carbon compounds secreted by the roots (exudates). Different exudates are produced at different times in the season and under different environmental stresses. Because not all bacteria consume all exudates, this variability leads to farm-to-farm inconsistency and lower total function in the field. Here, we engineer the root-c..

Reprogramming Life: Systems Metabolic Engineering from Microbial Cell Factories to Mammalian TherapeuticsLiving organisms, from microbes to mammals, rely on complex metabolic networks to sustain life. Systems Metabolic Engineering (SME)-a multidisciplinary strategy integrating metabolic engineering, systems biology, and synthetic biology-has revolutionized our ability to rationally redesign these networks.In microbial platforms, SME has been successfully applied to construct high-performance cell factories for sustainable chemical production. By integrating multi-omics analyses with computatio..

The past decade has witnessed the tremendous power of systems and synthetic biology in the creation of genetic parts, devices, and systems, which helps understand complex biological systems. However, its potential for real-world applications has not been fully exploited. One of its promising applications is the construction of programmable cells that integrate multiple environmental signals and implement synthetic control over biological processes. My research interests are focused on developing microbes and microbiota that can process multiple input signals and generate user-defined outputs. ..
