Cracking the Code of Bacteria: The Digest’s 2020 Multi-Slide Guide to MicroByre’s Engineered Bacteria

“Working with only E.coli is like feeding dogs grass to make milk,” said Dr. Sarah Richardson during this presentation given at ABLC NEXT in San Francisco. With a background in genomes, she shared insight into why bioengineers have not domesticated more bacteria, how MicroByre combines informatics, genomics, microbiology, synthetic biology and molecular biology to create an engineered organism that can solve global challenges, like their strain that converts crude glycerol to succinic acid.
