🦠💊 Manufacturing paracetamol is currently extremely fossil fuel intensive. Now, researchers from @Wallace_Lab are using microbes to transform plastic pollution into lower-emission painkillers.

New paper out in @NatureCatalysis! We used a retrobiosynthesis approach to engineer PKSs for the production of new-to-nature valerolactam analogs. Later, we developed a strategy to polymerize these monomers to create novel nylon-5 derivatives. Check it out nature.com/articles/s41929-0…

Take a look inside the lab where @Dr_StephenW team have engineered bacteria to eat fatbergs and turn them into fragrance🦠🧪
The fast-moving field of bioengineering is being hailed as the new industrial revolution
Great coverage by @STVNews

For our latest case study, C-Source Renewables and @Dr_StephenW from
@EdinburghUni used our Feasibility Fund to look at the potential for bread & potato #waste to be used as a #glucose replacement for the #bioproduction of 3 chemicals.

Wonderful to see our upcoming work highlighted by the recent UK House of Lords report on #EngineeringBiology and to work with @EdinburghUni, @SBSatEd, @STVNews & @BBCNews to promote what can be achieved in this emerging field. Remember: waste is carbon, and therefore a resource.
