The Colorado School of Mines received a two-year, $200,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041). The grant will support upgrading microbial metabolites in bacterial cultures with nanocellular catalysts. Researchers will design catalyst scaffolds that can function alongside living microbes in aqueous conditions with low substrate concentrations, confining catalysts to nano-sized compartments to protect cells from catalytic materials and toxic intermediates. Workforce development efforts like undergraduate and high school lab and lecture modules are also a primary focus. The project aims to combine the productivity of chemical catalysis with the sustainability of microbial biosynthesis by integrating chemo-catalytic upgrading of microbial metabolites within single-flask bioprocesses.
