Abstract
En 中文
Cofactor engineering can redistribute carbon fluxes from biomass accumulation toward the synthesis of high-value products, enabling sustainable production of pharmaceuticals and other fine chemicals with enhanced purity and yield. Light-driven and electrochemical cofactor regeneration can transform microbial platforms into autotrophic systems, potentially allowing the continuous bioproduction of chemicals from CO2 with a negative carbon footprint. Biocompatible materials can create robust microenvironments for cofactor recycling and enzyme preservation, potentially advancing the industrial-scale biomanufacturing of bulk chemicals such as biofuels and polymers. Integrated bioprocesses can leverage cofactor dynamics to achieve stable, large-scale production, overcoming metabolic bottlenecks in continuous-flow systems for green manufacturing.
