Outpacing E. coli: Development of Vibrio natriegens as a Next-Generation Cloning Host https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.02.11.705132v1

🚨📣 Pathogenic bacteria assemble protein-based microcompartments to digest ethanolamine in the gut, a process essential for their growth and survival and a potential target for antimicrobial strategies. doi.org/g95j7q Synergy of multiple UoL Shared Research Facilities also 🚨📣 @makaefer.bsky.social

Engineered yeast now produces succinic acid from plant sugars with an 85% yield, significantly lowering production costs and advancing sustainable alternatives to petrochemical-based methods. doi.org/g9wn2w

Researchers have invented a system that captures carbon dioxide from ocean water and converts it to succinic acid, a key monomer used to make the commonly used biodegradable plastic polybutylene succinate. cen.acs.org/environment/... #chemsky 🧪
