dc.description.abstractLignocellulosic biomass, residual biomass from the agricultural and forestry industries, is the most abundant organic substance on the planet. For efficient utilization by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the biomass must undergo a pretreatment process that typically generates strong inhibitors, with acetate being the most prominent. This project served as a proof of concept and explored optimization of acetate utilization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using a gRNA-landing pad strategy. This was done through a wide range of molecular biology methods such as the transformation of Escherichia coli and the Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain LX6, restriction cloning, cloning using the MoClo system, as well as in-silico design of plasmids and primers. A gRNA-landing pad was successfully assembled in-vitro, using in-silico custom-made MoClo parts, and transformed into Escherichia coli. Transformation of the gRNA-landing pad into LX6 presented a challenge, that as of yet is not overcome. Despite the challenges in transforming the yeast, the creation of an easy-to-assemble gRNA-landing pad could enable a fast and reliable method for future research involving gRNA-landing pads Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
