A 3D rendering captured with a confocal microscope shows the development of serpentine "cables" as non-motile E. coli ...

Here's a rather novel way to keep trash out of landfills: engineering biologists at the University of Edinburgh have ...

Researchers have demonstrated that E. coli can perform a biocompatible Lossen rearrangement, enabling phosphate-catalysed conversion of synthetic substrates into valuable compounds. This approach ...

In a nutshell Scientists engineered E. coli bacteria to perform a chemical reaction that transforms plastic-derived compounds into acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol. The process uses ...

Researchers in the UK have devised a very clever method using genetically modified E. coli to convert PET plastic waste into ...

The newly created protein, termed "de novo-1", binds to a heme-related target in E. coli<i/>, preventing the bacteria from ...

This research could represent the first documented case of paracetamol production from plastic waste using E. coli bacteria.

Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen, is widely used to treat pain and fever. It is produced from molecules derived from ...

Genetically engineered bacteria have been created that can convert polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the polymer plastic ...

Paracetamol production could be revolutionised by the discovery that a common bacterium can turn everyday plastic waste into ...

Common bacteria could turn plastic waste into painkillers, study finds. ... is non-toxic to E coli and is catalysed by phosphate in cells,” scientists explained.
