👉 Glucose engineering refers to the manipulation and optimization of glucose metabolism in biological systems, primarily aimed at enhancing the production of valuable compounds such as biofuels, pharmaceuticals, and biochemicals. This process involves the genetic modification of organisms like bacteria, yeast, or plants to improve their ability to absorb, convert, and utilize glucose more efficiently. By introducing or modifying specific genes, scientists can alter metabolic pathways to increase the yield of desired products, reduce byproducts, and enhance tolerance to high glucose concentrations. Techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, metabolic pathway engineering, and synthetic biology are employed to fine-tune these processes, ultimately leading to more sustainable and cost-effective production methods in biotechnology.
