Our project, a collaboration between the Lidstrom, Baker, and Klavins laboratories, is focused on protein engineering and metabolic engineering of E. coli to create a strain that will utilize CO2 as a carbon source for fuel production, using a highly efficient, novel pathway. This pathway will be coupled to either glycerol or H2to create a process more efficient that that for glucose.
