Professional skills are often emphasized in a capstone engineering design course, especially in relation to addressing ABET Engineering Criteria. Learning of these skills is typically a product of… (More)
Recombinant Escherichia coli is a desirable platform for the production of many biological compounds including poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates), a class of naturally occurring biodegradable polyesters with… (More)
Consolidated bioprocessing of lignocellulose is an attractive strategy for the sustainable production of petroleum-based alternatives. One of the underutilized sources of carbon in lignocellulose is… (More)
Engineering of microorganisms to directly utilize plant biomass as a feedstock for the biosynthesis of value-added products such as bioplastics is the aim of consolidated bioprocessing. In previous… (More)
Developing Escherichia coli strains that are tolerant to acetate toxicity is important in light of an increased interest in the efficient utilization of lignocellulosic biomass feedstocks for the… (More)
A variety of soil-dwelling bacteria produce polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), which serves as a source of energy and carbon under nutrient deprivation. Bacteria belonging to the genus Pseudomonas do not… (More)
