The ENGICOIN proposal aims at the development of three new microbial factories (MFs), integrated in an organic waste anaerobic digestion (AD) platform, based on engineered strains exploiting CO2 sources and renewable solar radiation or H2 for the production of value-added chemicals, namely:
1) the cyanobacteria Synechocystis to produce lactic acid
2) the aerobic and toxic metal tolerant Ralstonia eutropha to produce PHA bioplastics
3) the anaerobic Acetobacterium woodii to produce acetone.
