Areas of utility
Biohydrogen
More Efficient/Alchohol Tolerant Yeast
Another route is to remove alcohol from the medium throughout fermentation. Increasing resistance to other inhibitory compounds in recalcitrant feedstocks and engineering yeast to be able to feed off of pentose sugars are an ongoing research areas.
More Efficient Composters
More Efficient Anerobic Digesters
More Efficient Methane Digesting Bacteria
Genetically Modified Bioluminescent Bacteria that Produce Luciferin, but do not use it
More Efficient + Different Colors of Bioluminescent Bacteria
More Efficient Bioluminescent Fungi
Bacteria that produce chemicals useful to organic chemistry
Bacteria that produce chemicals useful to medecine
- Open Source Insulin E. Coli etc
Waste Cleanup Bacteria
- Plastic Digesters/Making these more efficient
- Hydrocarbon Digesters for Spills
Water Purification Organisms
- (Not sure if this is possible, but) Modify Something Like A Cypress Tree to Produce an Excess of Water, So some can be removed and you essentially have a natural RO Machine
