Abstract

Synthetic biology and adaptive laboratory evolution are key tools for developing biotechnology platforms for the remediation of oil sands tailings. However, field deployment and subsequent regulation of engineered and/or evolved strains is rife with uncertainties and risks. Here, we detail an innovation strategy to derisk and deploy engineered bioremediation platforms.<br /> (Copyright © 2020. Published by Elsevier Ltd.)
