Outline of Final Research Achievements |
An aim of the study is to develop light-driven marine vibrio biocatalysts in efficient biofuel production. We performed 1) gene expression of a Nonlabens sediminis proteorhdopsin gene, and 2) a cloning of a myxol synthetic gene cluster of Nonlabens ulvanivorans. We also accumulated fundamental knowledge on CRISPR/Cas system for further developments of a genome editing approach working in marine vibrio cells.
