Grand challenge commentary: Chassis cells for industrial biochemical production

Claudia E Vickers et al. Nat Chem Biol. 2010 Dec.

Abstract

Hyper-performing whole-cell catalysts are required for the renewable and sustainable production of petrochemical replacements. Chassis cells—self-replicating minimal machines that can be tailored for the production of specific chemicals—will provide the starting point for designing these hyper-performing 'turbo cells'.
