<p>Team AlbertaÃÃÃâs aim is to aide in the solution of a global
-
    display: none;
+
problem, the fuel crisis, by thinking locally. In Alberta, our main
-
}
+
industrial practices lay within the oil and gas sector; however,
 +
we also have 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><i>This is not a new idea. </i>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. <font color=#f09131>Why engineer a new organism
 +
to perform a function nature has perfected in another species? Why

not just make this organism even better?</font></p><br>

<p>We have selected the filamentous, ascomycete fungus Neurospora
-
    width: 950px;
+
crassa, which is a natural cellulose metabolizer, with the aim
-
    /*background-color: #f09131;*/
+
of creating an organism to efficiently make biodiesel. Our fuel
-
    margin-left:15px;
+
will be made by up-regulating fatty acid synthesis and inhibiting
-
    margin-right:15px;
+
beta-oxidation, effectively causing the over-production of fatty
-
    padding-left: 10px;
+
acids within N. Crassa.  From here we will efficiently esterify
-
    padding-right: 10px;
+
the fatty acids into fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs), producing

a viable fuel.</p>

WELCOME

Team AlbertaÃÃÃâs 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 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.
