<p>Team Alberta's aim is to aide in the solution of a global
-
    list-style:none;
+
problem, the fuel crisis, by thinking locally. In Alberta, our main
-
    margin: 0px;
+
industrial practices lay within the oil and gas sector; however, we
-
    font-size: 16pt;
+
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>
-
#navbar ul li {
+
<p>This is not a new idea. Previous research has been largely
-
    position:relative;
+
focused on engineering organisms to metabolize cellulose, a highly
-
    float:left;
+
inefficient approach with very little yield. Here is where our
-
    margin: 0px;
+
approach differs. Why engineer a new organism to perform a function
-
    height: 78px;
+
nature has perfected in another species? Why not just make this
-
}
+
organism even better?</p><br>
-
#navbar ul li ul {
+
<p>We have selected the filamentous, ascomycete fungus <i>Neurospora
-
     border-style: solid;
+
     crassa</i>, which is a natural cellulose metabolizer, with the aim
-
    border-color: #3C2415;
+
of creating an organism to efficiently make biodiesel. Our fuel
-
    background-color: #33AA33;
+
will be made by up-regulating fatty acid synthesis and inhibiting
-
    border-width: 2px;
+
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>

  • The Potential
    Home production and commercial production are viable options for our biodiesel production methods. See Team Alberta's plan to make a small laboratory process into small scale bio-production and large scale.
WELCOME

Team Alberta's aim is to aide 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.


This is not a new idea. 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.
