Scientists invent Way to use E. coli to create and dye Rainbow-Colored Fabric in the Lab
Scientists have used genetically engineered bacteria to simultaneously create & color fabrics in a one-pot method. Compared with current methods that rely on fossil fuels, the new technique offers a simpler and more sustainable way to produce colored textiles.

"Rapid Antibiotic Discovery using a Direct-to-Biology Approach"
Storm van der Voort from the group of Hermen Overkleeft and our group at the @LED3hub presented his exciting research into efficiently finding new antibacterially active #CovalentInhibitors using a direct-to-biology approach and into finding their targets using residue-specific chemoproteomics with the isoDTB-ABPP technology at #NWOCHAINS.

The poster pitches at #NWOCHAINS were an absolute firework of great science. We learned about #antivirals, #organocatalysis, #MolecularMotors, #EnzymeEngineering, #photocontrol, #odor detection, sensing of #bacteria, #recycling, #batteries, #QuantumDots, #vitrimers, #BoneRegeneration, native #MassSpectrometry and #biomaterials. Always one of my highlights of the conference.

In the future, clothes might come from vats of living microbes. Reporting in the journal Trends in Biotechnology, researchers demonstrate that bacteria can both create fabric and dye it in every color of the rainbow—all in one pot. The approach offers a sustainable alternative to the chemical-heavy practices used in today's textile industry.
