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...

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 ...

More than ever, the climate crisis is becoming a health crisis. An estimated 5 million people globally die each year because of suboptimal temperatures, with a large proportion of heat-related mortality (37%) attributable to human-induced climate change. The last few years have been the hottest on record and high temperatures claimed over 60 000 lives in Europe alone in 2022, with cities the most affected a...
