The University of California, Irvine received a $343,554 Project Grant award dated May 1, 2026, from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). This three-year research initiative, extending through April 30, 2029, will deliver a directed evolution workflow for surface-displayed enzymes on Bacillus subtilis spore particles, designed to identify and characterize enzymes capable of functioning under harsh chemical processing conditions including elevated temperatures, extreme pH levels, and organic solvents. The primary deliverables include the development of a high-throughput fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) screening workflow utilizing engineered chemical probes to visualize enzymatic activity, coupled with the generation and iterative refinement of a randomized enzyme library displayed on spore surfaces. By integrating directed evolution with enzyme immobilization on spores—leveraging their inherent chemical resilience and genetic retention capabilities—the project will produce optimized enzyme variants suitable for industrial chemical manufacturing applications. Additionally, the award supports educational outreach activities targeting local high school and community college students to encourage participation in the biomanufacturing workforce, aligning with the Engineering program's emphasis on workforce development alongside technical innovation.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
