Scaling Renewable Fuels and Chemicals for a Resilient European Industry: From Scientific Creativity to Innovation.

Come and hear about our @horizoneu.bsky.social project in Brussels in a couple of weeks! Register by this Sunday 15 March. 🌞 We will show how we combine #Nanomaterials and #SynBio to make solar fuel production more efficient.

@c5-project.eu will join too!

New paper! Scientists engineered Corynebacterium glutamicum to produce two alginate lyases (AlyB & AlyD) that completely break down seaweed alginate into fermentable sugars.

Circular bioeconomy one step closer!

‘Virtual cell’ captures most-basic process of life: bacterial division Researchers simulated nearly every molecule in a bacterial cell — and then watched the cell grow and reproduce.

For the first time, researchers have simulated nearly every chemical reaction in a living bacterial cell. The simulation models the virtual cell copying its DNA and dividing in two. www.nature.com/articles/d41... #biology #synbio
