Designing multi-purpose vaccines
Scientists from the five year EU funded project MycoSynVac report their findings and successes at a final meeting in Brussels. The project drew on cutting edge biotechnology to explore three important GOALS:
1. TRANSFORM a living bacteria (Mycoplasma pneumoniae) into a vaccine chassis
2. APPLY this vaccine chassis against bacterial diseases in livestock animals,
3. CONTRIBUTE to the reduction of antibiotics administered to farm animals
A well-rounded approach to science featuring…
Bacteria as CO2 recycling powerhouse
E. coli can live and feed on formate & methanol:
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute (Germany) have reached a significant breakthrough presented in their recent Nature Chemical Biology publication. Their research for EU project eForFuel has redesigned the model biotechnological bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli) to live and feed on methanol and formate: a possibility that serves as a stepping stone towards future endeavors aiming at recycling CO2 into various…
