Using frying oil to produce trans-zeatin in an engineered strain of E. coli
Our Project
Frying oil waste is full of high-energy molecules. While it is currently recycled into biofuels and cosmetics, we believe that spent frying oil can be used as an alternative substrate to grow bacteria and provide energy for product manufacturing. Our target was trans-zeatin, a plant growth hormone with applications in food, fuel, and feed.
