Charité BerlinInstead of oil and land: Researchers at #CharitéBerlin have engineered new strains of bacteria 🦠 that can produce #chemicals ⚗️ from industrial waste 🗑️. Using this technology, things like #bioplastics and #biofuels could be produced more sustainably. The team achieved this feat by getting the bacteria to follow a completely new type of metabolism called #RespiroFermentation. Viva la #sustainability! 🥳

New findings on sustainable bioproduction of chemicals
Researchers from Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin and three Max Planck Institutes have developed a new technology for the sustainable bioproduction of chemical precursors. Here, Dr. Steffen Lindner-Mehlich, head of the study, answers questions about the research findings.
