UNT # Engineering Methanotrophs for the Synthesis of Value-Added Products # Greenhouse gasses are major contributors to climate change, of which methane and carbon dioxide are some of the most potent. Genetic modification of the methanotroph species, a bacteria able to naturally metabolize methane and carbon dioxide, is a solution to this issue. Considerable work has been dedicated to the genetic engineering of methanotrophs, but a lack in diverse, adaptable, and consistent gene editing remains an issue. ...
