Innovation paves way to make ‘clean’ chemicals, plastics and food using solar energy

Integrated solar reactor uses sunlight, water, CO2 and engineered bacteria to grow biomass in a single beaker

21-May-2026 - A new study led by Dr Lin Su of Queen Mary University of London, published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, describes a new integrated solar reactor in which engineered Escherichia coli (E. coli) are grown directly inside the same liquid that converts CO₂ into a usable energy ...

Plastic bottles turned into Parkinson’s medication

Edinburgh researchers develop an alternative to fossil-based raw materials in pharmaceutical manufacturing

18-Mar-2026 - A drug to treat Parkinson’s disease can be made from waste plastic bottles using a pioneering method, a study shows. The approach harnesses the power of bacteria to transform post-consumer plastic into L-DOPA, a frontline medication for the neurological disorder. It is the first time a natural, ...

Breadcrumbs replace fossil hydrogen in chemical production

A one-pot microbial formula, which uses live microbes, eliminates the need for fossil fuels in hydrogenation

04-Mar-2026 - The humble breadcrumb could hold the key to cutting out fossil fuels from one of the chemical industry’s most widely used reactions, according to a new study. Scientists have found a one-pot microbial formula that uses waste bread to replace fossil fuel-derived hydrogen in hydrogenation – a ...

How sweet is healthy? Tagatose could solve the sugar problem

Tufts researchers use E. coli as microfactories for tagatose, which has 60% fewer calories and hardly affects blood sugar levels

16-Jan-2026 - From saccharin in the 19th century to stevia and monk fruit in the 21st, researchers and the food industry have long sought a sweetener that delivers the taste of sugar without its drawbacks—excess calories, tooth decay, and heightened risk for obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes. Now, in ...

Microbes transform plastic waste into paracetamol

How traditional chemistry can work with engineering biology to create sustainable chemical-producing living microbial factories

25-Jun-2025 - Paracetamol production could be revolutionised by the discovery that a common bacterium can turn everyday plastic waste into the painkiller, a study reveals. The new method leaves virtually no carbon emissions and is more sustainable than the current production of the medicine, researchers ...

"Superman" bacteria offer a sustainable boost to chemical production

A tailored “Superman cape” for bacteria

13-Dec-2024 - The industry—particularly the pharmaceutical industry—is deeply reliant on bacteria in their production. Now, researchers present a “superman suit” to put on the bacteria, so that they can produce chemicals with less energy, fewer solvents, and reduced waste. Trillions of bacteria work in the ...

First step towards synthetic CO2 fixation in living cells

Three modules forming a new-to-nature CO2 fixation cycle successfully implemented in E.coli

29-Dec-2023 - Synthetic biology offers the opportunity to build biochemical pathways for the capture and conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2). Researchers at the Max-Planck-Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology have developed a synthetic biochemical cycle that directly converts CO2 into the central building ...

Plastic-eating bacteria turn waste into useful starting materials for other products

Microbial Upcycling of Waste PET

03-Nov-2023 - Mountains of used plastic bottles get thrown away every day, but microbes could potentially tackle this problem. Now, researchers in ACS Central Science report that they’ve developed a plastic-eating E. coli that can efficiently turn polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste into adipic acid, which ...

Biolab Products Replacing Horseradish Roots

Breakthrough in the production of important enzymes: Previously they were extracted from horseradish roots, but now they can be produced recombinantly in the laboratory

01-Sep-2023 - It is one of the most important enzymes in medical diagnostics: Horseradish peroxidase is used for many medical products - it is often used when a color change of a test strip is to detect the presence of antibodies or other proteins. Recently, however, there has been a shortage of horseradish ...

With formic acid towards CO₂ neutrality

Researchers develop a new method for the sustainable use of CO₂

16-May-2023 - New synthetic metabolic pathways for CO2 fixation could not only help to reduce the CO2 content of the atmosphere, but also replace conventional chemical manufacturing processes for pharmaceuticals and active ingredients with carbon-neutral, biological processes. A new study demonstrates a ...
