Biomanufacturing is increasingly being viewed as an important tool to provide alternative and flexible domestic manufacturing capabilities for an agile supply chain. These technologies promise to boost the economy and secure domestic supply of important products, such as medicines or fuels. Traditionally, the vast majority of biomanufacturing efforts use cells in bioreactors to simultaneously grow and produce target products from cheap feedstocks. Cell-free systems are an emerging alternative in which cells are grown first and th...
