- Spotlight on Formic Acid: converting formate into formaldehyde efficiently
For a carbon-neutral bioeconomy, processes are needed that can efficiently capture CO2 and convert it into valuable products. Formic acid, or more specifically its salt, formate, is considered a pr... - Microbial Strategy for Renewable Plastic
Current demand for plastics and chemical raw materials is met through large-scale production of ethylene from fossil fuels. This makes it necessary to search for new, renewable processes. Using... - New-to-Nature pathway outperforms natural pathway in living bacteria
For the first time, an international collaboration has demonstrated that synthetic carbon assimilation can operate more efficiently in a living system than its natural counterpart. Researchers ...
- A protein determines the shape of bacteria and thus their capabilities
Bacteria come in a wide variety of shapes, which are important for their fitness in their respective ecological niches. However, despite intensive research, the factors that determine the shape of ...
- Quest for new antibiotics: synthetic biology combined with artificial intelligence
The rising resistance of bacteria to antibiotics presents an escalating global health risk. Now, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology have combined synthetic biology...
- How photosynthesis adapted to the rise of oxygen
The central biocatalyst in Photosynthesis, Rubisco, is the most abundant enzyme on earth. But how did Rubisco evolve, and how did it adapt to environmental changes during Earth's history? By re... - A wealth of bioactive small molecules in insect-killing bacteria
Interactions between microbes and other organisms are mediated by a plethora of small molecules, also called natural products. A research team led by Dr. Yi-Ming Shi and Prof. Helge Bode from the M...
- One for all: super-resolution microscopy with one universal nanobody
To make cellular structures easily accessible for super-resolution microscopy, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology in Marburg, the Natural and Medical Sciences Insti...
