| Research Abstract |
In maintaining a sustainable ecosystem in this period of global warming, development of key technologies in the field of renewable energy sources has become an important challenge; a method of biofuel production from marine biomass could be one of the mostcrucial technologies in the future. In this study, we investigated genome wide metabolic pathway prediction, functional analysis of the genes responsible for the alginate degradation and ethanol production, and the transcriptomic analysis in two unique marine vibrios, both of which are capable of producing bioethanol from seaweed carbohydrates. We successfully reconstructed the metabolic pathway with functional and transcriptomic information as a marine vibrio platform.
