BBSRC CASE PhD Studentship
Clostridia Research Group
University of Nottingham -Centre for Biomolecular Sciences
School of Molecular Medical Sciences
The use of forward and reverse genetics to select Clostridium strains more tolerant to biobutanol and cellulosic feedstock inhibitors
Project Supervisors: Prof Nigel P Minton and Dr Ying Zhang
Heightened concerns over global warming and fossil fuel supply, security and prices, has led to a paradigm shift in perceived routes to chemical commodity production and energy generation. There is a burgeoning need for the sustainable production of hydrocarbons for energy, lubricants and platform and speciality chemicals though ‘biological engineering’. In partnership with Green Biologics Ltd (GBL), the Clostridia Research Group (CRG) at Nottingham are seeking transformational improvements to the biological production of n-butanol. This alcohol is an important chemical commodity and a superior biofuel to ethanol. Green Biologics Ltd (GBL) is a leading industrial biotechnology company focused on the production of biobutanol from renewable feedstocks
using Clostridium.
The studentship will use forward and reverse genetics to better understand the biology of the Clostridium process strains and to select strains more tolerant to butanol and feedstock inhibitors, a rational route to more effective production strains. The project will exploit world-leading gene technologies developed at Nottingham (1,2), in parallel to directed evolution approaches based on continuous culture pioneered by GBL.
The project offers training in anaerobic microbiology, advanced microbial genetics, molecular biology, continuous culture systems, gas/liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, and synthetic biology/metabolic engineering. The Clostridia Research Group (http:// www.clostron.com) is part of the BBSRC Sustainable Bioenergy Centre (BSBEC). Moreover, the PhD project will be linked to a transnational project funded under a European ERANET involving laboratories from Germany and Norway. The student will, therefore, be expected to attend consortium meetings in partner countries, as well as spending 3 months at GBL premises in Oxford. The CRG has additionally formed strong partnerships with groups in the US, China and India,
providing ample opportunity to take part in international conferences, workshops, and exchange programmes.
The successful student will join a highly motivated and well-funded team of research scientists dedicated to the molecular characterisation and exploitation of clostridial species of medical and industrial importance. The group are located in state-of-the-art facilities in the newly completed, £25M Centre for Biomolecular Sciences, a multidisciplinary research environment with frequent seminars and a vibrant microbial research community.
Students should have, or expect to obtain, a first or upper second-class degree in a relevant biological subject. This studentship is fully funded at the Standard Research Council stipend rates for 4 years.
The student will be expected to start on 1 October 2013.
Applications should be in the form of a detailed CV and a covering letter. The CV should contain the names and contacts (including Email addresses) of two referees, and the type, class and grade (or that predicted) of your degree. Please send your application to Professor Nigel P Minton, Centre for Biomolecular Sciences, University of Nottingham, University Park, Nottingham, NG7 2RD. Email: nigel.minton@nottingham.ac.uk.
