Strict anaerobic microorganisms (species that cannot survive exposure to oxygen or ambient at-mospheric conditions) have great potential in green biotechnologies. They have unique capabilities to convert C1 gasses (such …
as carbon dioxide, methane and carbon monoxide) into stored energy (in the form of ethanol and hydrocarbons), proteins (for food and other applications) and other industrial bulk chemicals (such as acetone). The development of cell factories and strains has been accelerated by the integration of AI
and machine learning tools in a concept known as a biofoundry. In a biofoundry the generation and characterization of high numbers (100-1000) of strains in parallel serves as input data to a model which is then able to describe the next set
