CyanoFactory

The CyanoFactory is a collaborate research project for design, construction and demonstration of solar biofuel production using novel (photo) synthetic cell factories. The CyanoFactory brings together ten selected leading, highly complementary European partners with the aim to carry out integrated, fundamental research aiming at applying synthetic biology principles towards a cell factory notion in microbial biotechnology. The vision is to build on recent progress in synthetic biology and develop novel photosynthetic cyanobacteria as chassis to be used as self-sustained cell factories in generating a solar fuel.
