Introduction

Unstable and uncertain oil reserves are raising concerns about the growing demand for energy. Exploring renewable biological resources for the production of biofuels and industrial commodity chemicals has become a common research topic. Cellulosic biomass resources are very abundant and renewable, making them a promising alternative energy source. The production of cellulosic-derived ethanol is currently limited by lack of infrastructure, technology and high cost of enzymes. Furthermore, the cellulases and pretreatment processes involved are very expensive. The production of cellulases and hemicellulases by genetically engineering plants is a very promising approach. The primary requirement for lignocellulosic ethanol production is to develop an efficient enzyme production system for economical and rapid biomass depolymerization.

Our Solutions

High-level expression and compartmentalization of toxic proteins in chloroplasts protect transgenic plants from pleiotropy, making chloroplasts ideal bioreactors for industrial enzyme production. Lifeasible is focused on developing a variety of state-of-the-art methods and technologies to apply chloroplast genetic engineering from theory to biofuel production. Our team has a strong interest in the application of chloroplast engineering and hopes to bring more valuable and innovative solutions to people through the chloroplast gene transformation platform.

Our engineers express different enzymes from bacteria or fungi in tobacco chloroplasts for the production of feedstocks for biofuels, including acetylxylan esterase, cutinase, endoglucanase, exoglucanase, pectate lyase, xylan enzymes, lipases, etc. With years of experience in chloroplast engineering, Lifeasible is committed to developing the application of chloroplast engineering in biofuels enzymes to develop chloroplast-derived enzyme mixtures for the production of fermentable sugars from different lignocellulosic biomass. Our chloroplast engineering solutions in biofuel enzymes are proven and you can choose with confidence. Here, our chloroplast engineering solutions in biofuels enzymes include:

• Production of Chloroplast-Derived Pectin Lyases
• Production of Chloroplast-Derived Xylanases
• Production of Chloroplast-Derived β-Glucosidases
• Production of Chloroplast-Derived Endoglucanases

Advantages of Chloroplast Engineering in Biopharmaceuticals

• The most economical cellulosic ethanol production costs.
• There is no or minimal need to produce these enzymes in a bioreactor.
• Can be used to alter the amount and structure of lignin to reduce the need for expensive pretreatment processes.
• Adequate supply of cellulosic biomass.
• Bioethanol is produced from waste from non-food crops and food crops.
• The use of cellulosic biomass allows the production of bioethanol in countries where the climate is not suitable for growing crops such as sugar cane or corn.

Lifeasible has successfully used chloroplast transformation technology for abiotic and biotic stress tolerant plants, vaccines, biomaterials, biopharmaceuticals, phytoremediation and more. Here, we provide reliable, economical solutions for chloroplast engineering in biofuels enzymes.
