Neues EU-Projekt will die umweltfreundliche Produktion komplexer Moleküle für Medizin und Industrie vorantreiben
Seit Jahrmillionen produzieren Pflanzen nachhaltig und preiswert hochkomplexe Moleküle aus einfachen chemischen Grundbausteinen. Viele dieser chemischen Substanzen werden heute in der Medizin und in der Parfümindustrie genutzt. (more…)
Discovery Could Lead to Editing Tool for Genomes
Genetic engineers and genomics researchers should welcome the news from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) where an international team of scientists has discovered a new and possibly more effective means of editing genomes. This discovery holds potentially big implications for advanced biofuels and therapeutic drugs, as genetically modified microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, are expected to play a key role in the green chemistry production of these and other valuable chemical products.
