This project aims to develop robust, solar driven, enzyme-based biocatalysts to synthesise complex metabolites and biopharmaceutical molecules in single-cell micro-algae. The significance of this project is that solar energy is used to drive challenging chemical reactions inexpensively via photosynthesis. Expected outcomes include sustainable, solar driven production of high-value molecules that are difficult or impossible to synthesise chemically. Benefits include proof-of-principle demonstration of new, light-driven green-chemistry processes for the production of biochemicals, biopharmaceuticals, agricultural and industrial chemicals, extending the diversity of molecules we can make while reducing cost and environmental impact of their production.

该项目旨在开发强大的、太阳能驱动的、基于酶的生物催化剂，以在单细胞微藻中合成复杂的代谢物和生物制药分子。该项目的意义在于利用太阳能通过光合作用以廉价的方式驱动具有挑战性的化学反应。预期成果包括以可持续的、太阳能驱动的方式生产难以或不可能化学合成的高价值分子。好处包括对用于生产生物化学品、生物制药、农业和工业化学品的新型光驱动绿色化学工艺进行原理验证演示，扩大我们可以制造的分子的多样性，同时降低其生产的成本和对环境的影响。
