Abstract
This chapter focuses on the application of synthetic biology to biotechnology. Despite being a poorly defined field, synthetic biology is a technology with the potential to transform microbial biotechnology as it allows for the development of organisms that can produce a wide variety of useful compounds. The chapter focuses on bacteria, fungi and microalgae alongside the issues with technology in the field of synthetic biology. It also looks at how flux balance analysis can be used to model the effect of modifying the organism, environment, or nutrient inputs. Moreover, gene synthesis can be used to construct novel sequences of DNA.
