A crewed mission to and from Mars may include an exciting array of enabling biotechnologies that leverage inherent mass, power, volume advantages over traditional abiotic approaches. In this perspective, we articulate the scientific engineering goals constraints, along with example systems, guide design a surface biomanufactory. Extending past arguments for exploiting stand-alone elements biology, argue integrated biomanufacturing plant replete modules microbial in situ resource utilization,...
Providing life-support materials to crewed space exploration missions is pivotal for mission success. However, as become more distant and extensive, obtaining these from in situ resource utilization paramount. The combination of microorganisms with electrochemical technologies offers a platform the production critical chemicals CO 2 H O, two compounds accessible on target destination like Mars. One such potential commodity poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), common biopolyester targeted additive...
Abstract Spirulina is the common name for edible, nonheterocystous, filamentous cyanobacterium Arthrospira platensis that grown industrially as a food supplement, animal feedstock, and pigment source. Although there are many applications engineering this organism, until recently no genetic tools or reproducible transformation methods have been published. While recent work showed production of diversity proteins in A. , including single‐domain antibodies oral delivery, remains need modular,...

Abstract Species of bacteria from the genus Cupriavidus are known, in part, for their ability to produce high amounts poly‐hydroxybutyrate (PHB) making them attractive candidates bioplastic production. The native synthesis PHB occurs during periods metabolic stress, and process regulating initiation accumulation these organisms is not fully understood. Screening an RB‐TnSeq transposon library basilensis 4G11 allowed us identify two genes apparent, uncharacterized two‐component system, which...
