Research abstract
The strain engineering effort will constitute development of a synthetic biology toolkit applicable for food waste conversion in clostridium. The engineered strain will enable high efficiency conversion of army food waste to fuel. The proposed project will scale up a clostridium based fermentation method to produce fuel from food waste. A batch reactor will be optimized. Overall techno-economic feasibility analysis will be performed to compare costs of manufacturing with traditional chemical processes. The proposed innovation will have commercial civilian applications. A dual commercialization strategy will be pursued.
