Description of Research Group:The Institute of Bioenergy and Ecology, belonging to School of Life Science and Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, was established in 2003 and is headed by Professor Yunjun Yan. Since its establishment, it has successively established and improved research platforms for synthetic biology, lipase engineering, bioenergy and aquatic ecology. It has established a high-yield lipase strain library, established and perfected industrial enzyme gene cloning, efficient genetic engineering strain construction, and enzyme in vitro molecular evolution technology system. Important breakthroughs have been made in industrial enzyme gene cloning, high-efficiency expression, large-scale fermentation, new enzymatic biodiesel technology and industrialization demonstration, cell factories in emerging industries, bio-based materials, and bio-cement. At the same time, it has made internationally advanced technological achievements in the structural dynamics and mechanisms of freshwater ecosystems, biodiversity, productivity, ecological energetics, and biological control of Anopheles malaria. The Institute has undertaken and participated in more than 40 major national strategic projects, the National 863 Program, the National Key R & D Program, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and other provincial and ministerial projects. Published more than 200 SCI-indexed international journal papers, such as ACS Applied Materials & Interface, Metabolic Engineering, Chemical Engineering Journal, Environmental Science & Technology, Applied Energy, ACS Synthetic Biology, Biotechnology for Biofuels, Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, and applied for and authorized 20 national invention patents.

Description of Research Group:Synthetic biology is a biological research hotspot emerging in the early 21st century. It is a comprehensive discipline that achieves artificial design and construction of new biological systems with specific physiological functions on the basis of clarifying and simulating the basic laws of biosynthesis. It has broad application prospects, such as medicine, pharmacy, chemical industry, energy, materials, agriculture, and other fields. Bio-intelligence is the use of artificially modified microbial cells or enzyme proteins as catalysts for controllable chemical synthesis, or controllable conversion of biomass as raw materials to synthesize energy, chemicals and materials. The new model of the route has typical features, such as low-carbon cycle, green and clean. Biological intelligence is based on synthetic biology.
(1) Synthetic biology and cell factory
From DNA molecules, gene parts, gene regulatory networks and signal transduction pathways to the artificial design and synthesis of cells, the principles and methods of engineering are applied to the fields of biotechnology, such as genetic engineering and cell engineering to construct a "cell factory". Using microorganisms and other cells as a processing plant, using cell metabolism as the "production line", using enzymes as catalysts, computer-aided design of efficient and directional artificial metabolic circuits, and genetic engineering methods to achieve logistics energy flow adaptation. Strengthen the pathway of target metabolites, so as to construct cells such as microorganisms into an ideal product "manufacturing factory". The cell factory can replace non-renewable fossil resources with renewable biomass resources, replace chemical processing methods with cleaner production and processing methods, change the high-consumption, high-pollution, and low-efficiency production mode, and improve the level of traditional industries. It is energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and Efficient and sustainable, it i...
