（一）张晓舟博士简介：
张晓舟，山东烟台莱州人，2006年获南京农业大学微生物学博士学位，现为美国弗吉尼亚理工大学Research Scientist、美国Gate Fuels生物能源公司技术总监，作为PI主持多项美国联邦政府新能源新材料创新研发项目。主要研究领域为重要工业微生物枯草芽孢杆菌新型遗传操作系统的开发及应用，组合合成生物学、代谢工程及联合生物处理工艺从木质纤维素原料合成新型生物燃料及大宗化学品。
（二）报告内容简介：
Bacillus species have been major workhorse industrial microorganisms with roles in science, wealth, environment and health related applications, which date back more than a thousand years. Bacillus enzymes currently make up about half of the world market for industrial enzymes that exceeds one billion dollars. Dr. Zhang has been working with Bacillus species for many basic and applied researches for more than 13 years and has been served as the Principal Investigator for many Bacillus related U.S. NSF and DOE funded innovative R&D projects. His talk will majorly focus on two parts: 1) Bacillus for biocontrol and biodegradation applications, and 2) Bacillus as a platform for biochemical production from lignocellulosic biomass. More specifically, he will discuss the brief history of Bacillus as an industrial enzyme producer, the development of high-level expression and secretion systems in Bacillus, how to achieve efficient marker-free genome modification in Bacillus and how to use Bacillus as a powerful enzyme engineering platform.
