<p>Team Alberta's aim is to aid in the solution of a global
 +
problem, the fuel crisis, by thinking locally. In Alberta, our main
 +
industrial practices lay within the oil and gas sector; however, we
 +
also have a thriving agricultural and forestry-based industry. The
 +
industrial processes associated with these industries produce
 +
biomass by-products of little economic value. The aim of our
 +
project is to convert these by-products into a useful and
 +
economically viable fuel, biodiesel.</p><br>
 +
 
 +
<p>Previous research has been largely
 +
focused on engineering organisms to metabolize cellulose, a highly
 +
inefficient approach with very little yield. Here is where our
 +
approach differs. <b>Why engineer a new organism to perform a function
 +
nature has perfected in another species? Why not just make this
 +
organism even better?</b></p><br>
 +
 
 +
<p>We have selected the filamentous, ascomycete fungus <i>Neurospora
 +
    crassa</i>, which is a natural cellulose metabolizer, with the aim
 +
of creating an organism to efficiently make biodiesel. Our fuel
 +
will be made by up-regulating fatty acid synthesis and inhibiting
 +
beta-oxidation, effectively causing the over-production of fatty
 +
acids within <i>N. crassa</i>. From here we will efficiently esterify
 +
the fatty acids into fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs), producing
 +
a viable fuel.</p>

WELCOME

Team Alberta's aim is to aid in the solution of a global problem, the fuel crisis, by thinking locally. In Alberta, our main industrial practices lay within the oil and gas sector; however, we also have a thriving agricultural and forestry-based industry. The industrial processes associated with these industries produce biomass by-products of little economic value. The aim of our project is to convert these by-products into a useful and economically viable fuel, biodiesel.


Previous research has been largely focused on engineering organisms to metabolize cellulose, a highly inefficient approach with very little yield. Here is where our approach differs. Why engineer a new organism to perform a function nature has perfected in another species? Why not just make this organism even better?


We have selected the filamentous, ascomycete fungus Neurospora crassa, which is a natural cellulose metabolizer, with the aim of creating an organism to efficiently make biodiesel. Our fuel will be made by up-regulating fatty acid synthesis and inhibiting beta-oxidation, effectively causing the over-production of fatty acids within N. crassa. From here we will efficiently esterify the fatty acids into fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs), producing a viable fuel.


Ingenuity Sustainability Cost Efficiency
LEARN
ACHIEVE
  1. Development of a rapid, systematic method to construct genes for N. crassa
  2. Development and utilization of N. crassa as a suitable synthetic biology chassis
  3. Creation of 7 parts for use in future synthetic biology projects
  4. Design of a self-contained bioreactor apparatus
  5. Determination of our fuel as an economically viable biodiesel
