Consolidated bioprocessing

Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) is a potential breakthrough in low-cost processing of cellulosic biomass in which biological conversion is consolidated into a single process step without added cellulase enzymes. Development of CBP-enabling microorganisms can proceed either engineering cellulolytic microbes to improve product titer and yield, or engineering organisms that have high product yields and titers so that they can utilize cellulose and other biomass components. Both strategies are actively under investigation in collaboration with Mascoma Corp.
