Headed to the 2025 @TheBioMADE Member Meeting next week? Connect with the ABF's Jesse Colangelo and Taraka Dale at our booth to discuss ABF-developed #biomanufacturing products, tools, capabilities and partnership opportunities. biomademeeting.org/
New in @NatureCatalysis: ABF, @UCBerkeley researchers used a retrobiosynthesis approach to design and construct polyketide synthases (PKSs) to produce the commodity chemical valerolactam and other valerolactam derivatives. nature.com/articles/s41929-0…
Their work showcases the untapped potential of PKSs for making a wide range of compounds through biosynthesis.

Our collaboration with @Kiverdi developed a set of genetic tools that will advance Cupriavidus necator as a microbial host for generating valuable products.

We've developed strategies to produce exemplar target molecules associated with high flux metabolic candidates called beachheads.
Our collaborators can leverage these existing strategies to produce #bioproducts associated with the same beachhead, saving them time and resources.
