| 摘要 | Alkanes with defined carbon chain lengths possess
higher energy density, low hygroscopicity and
volatility, and compatibility with existing liquid
fuel infrastructure, which are the predominant
constituents of gasoline, diesel and jet fuels.
Alkane biosynthesis is ubiquitous and biosynthetic
pathways have been identified in cyanobacteria,
photosynthetic microbes, which opens a door to
engineer alkane production with high efficiency
in cyanobacteria. Firstly, redirecting the carbon
flux to fatty acids or acyl-acyl carrier proteins
can provide larger precursor pools for further
conversion to alkanes. In combination with the
overexpression of alkane biosynthesis genes,
alkane production can be significantly improved
in engineered strains. Protein engineering for key
enzymes in alkane biosynthesis pathways will
further enhance the yield of alkanes. Secondly,
systems biology research on cyanobacteria will
increase our knowledge about the metabolism
in cyanobacteria and lead to significant
improvements in strain modification for alkane
production. Convenient and effective molecular
tools for genetic engineering of cyanobacteria will
expand the ability to engineer cyanobacteria for
alkane production. It is significant and promising
to directly utilize solar energy and convert carbon
dioxide into alkanes, drop-in biofuels, in cyanobacteria. |
