Microbial engineering for aldehyde synthesis
… this thesis, we investigate several aspects of microbial aldehyde synthesis. Driven first by the hypothesis that targeted gene deletions could decrease endogenous aldehyde reduction in a model E. coli host strain, we demonstrate that benzaldehyde accumulation occurs upon deletion of a …

Reprogramming alkaloid biosynthesis in Catharanthus roseus : synthetic biology in plants
… product. Advances in synthetic biology and microbial engineering have allowed overproduction of natural products and their analogs in non-native organisms such as yeast and E. coli. However, re-engineering of plant pathways to yield "novel" products has been limited, particularly when …

Electrical current generation by wild type and mutant Shewanella strains
The genus Shewanella has been reported to have the capacity to couple the transfer of electrons to insoluble metal oxides and solid carbon electrodes with cellular growth. While this process may be useful as an energy generation strategy or biotechnological tool, the electron transfer pathway by …

Utilization of aqueous product generated by hydrothermal carbonization of waste biomass
… production was evaluated through studies of soil microbial effects and impacts on seed germination and early plant growth. These studies confirmed bio-toxicity effects of HTC filtrate on agricultural soil microbes at high application rates. On the other hand, lower rates of application induced …
