Brewery waste can be repurposed to make nanoparticles that can fight bacteria
Brewery waste can be repurposed to make nanoparticles that can fight bacteria Brewery waste can be repurposed to make nanoparticles that fight bacteria, offering a potential solution to antibiotic resistance. The brewing process generates large amounts of waste, including spent grains, hops, and yeast, which are often discarded or used as animal feed, but could […]

Bacteria could make vitamins cheaper and greener
Bacteria could make vitamins cheaper and greener Bacteria can be engineered to produce more vitamin K₂, making vitamins cheaper and greener than traditional methods. A new study reveals how to rewire bacteria to overproduce vitamin K₂ by tuning substrate supply, enzyme expression, and gene order simultaneously. The researchers used a three-pronged approach: biosensing, genetic engineering, […]
