Advanced biofuels produced by microorganisms have similar properties to petroleum-based
fuels, and can'drop in'to the existing transportation infrastructure. However, producing these
biofuels in yields high enough to be useful requires the engineering of the microorganism's
metabolism. Such engineering is not based on just one specific feedstock or host organism.
Data-driven and synthetic-biology approaches can be used to optimize both the host and
pathways to maximize fuel production. Despite some success, challenges still need to be …
