Microbial solutions must be deployed against climate catastrophe

Microbial solutions must be deployed against climate catastrophe

The climate crisis is escalating.Amultitude ofmicrobe-based solutions have been proposed, and these technologies hold great promise and could be deployed along with other climate mitigation strategies. However, these solutions have not been deployed effectively at scale. To reverse this inaction, collaborators across different sectors are needed—from industry, funders and policymakers — to coordinate th...

Metabolic engineering of Corynebacterium glutamicum forthe production of pyrone and pyridine dicarboxylic acids

Metabolic engineering of Corynebacterium glutamicum forthe production of pyrone and pyridine dicarboxylic acids

Exploration into alternative plastic monomers to replace petrochemical-derived monomers hasbeen limited due to production challenges. One promising class of potential alternatives ispseudoaromatic compounds. This study presents the sustainable production of fivepseudoaromatic dicarboxylic acids using metabolically engineered Corynebacteriumglutamicum strains directly from glucose. A base production strain ...
