Once again, the Alchemist is looking for the green option, with carbon dioxide set to become a feedstock for acrylate. In efforts to combat malaria we learn that resistance is not futile after all. Europeans have found a way to make thin films of organic molecular magnets, while US researchers reveal that the Lyme disease pathogen needs no iron to survive. Shape-shifting polymer gels morph into view this week too. Finally, young British scientists are heading to London to be judged by politicians.

Super-microbes engineered to solve world environmental problems

October 8, 2012 – 10:01 pm

Super-microbes engineered to solve world environmental problems - Environmental problems, such as depleting natural resources, highlight the need to establish a renewable chemical industry. Metabolic engineering enhances the production of chemicals made by microbes in so-called "cell factories". On Monday, Professor Sang Yup Lee of KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) is scheduled to appear at in London at the Royal Society of Medicine to explain how metabolic engineering could lead to the development of solutions to these environmental problems.(10.1002/bit.22548)
