Concrete is a climate problem, and this breakthrough could help fix it. Professors Alessandro Rotta Loria and Jeffrey Lopez have developed a carbon-negative material that makes cement and concrete more sustainable without compromising strength. spr.ly/60110m44d

Comamonas testosteroni can digest PET plastic, and a key enzyme responsible for breaking down the plastic materials has been identified by the @AristildeLab and could be optimized to help remove plastics from the environment! futurism.com/the-byte/bacter…

Another fun-to-discuss & write collaboration w/Danilo Perez & @vdlorenzo_CNB: what makes #Pseudomonas our favorite chassis? #SynBio #Systems #Biology #Metabolic #Engineering #Biocatalysis
Why we like Pseudomonas putida KT2440 so much 😍 journals.asm.org/eprint/6ZAZ…. Story told with @PabloINik & Danilo Pérez on how a modest soil bacterium has become a biotechnological star 😱

A team led by @AristildeLab of @CornellCALS @Cornell @NorthwesternEng sought to probe how #Pseudomonasputida processes the metabolism of a mixture of representative lignocellulose-related compounds into CO2 versus biomass. Read in ES&T: go.acs.org/a3O

#Pseudomonas #minicells for #bioproduction👶🦠 Read our latest #preprint @biorxivpreprint by @KaterinaKozaeva & @ManuelNietoDom1 programming P. putida DNA-free vesicles equipped w/#biosynthetic pathways that keep activity for >4 months!🧪
🚨Can we use biofactories smaller than a cell? Check our latest #preprint @bioRxiv_synbio to find it! We generated P. putida minicells to produce methyl ketones (MKs) while avoiding toxicity. An approach implemented by @KaterinaKozaeva, @ManuelNietoDom1, Kent & @PabloINik🧵(1/n)

Read the latest on microbial activity at low water activity (think brines as thick as syrup) in our new paper out today! We predict a new limit of life - one based on anabolic activity. This is a fun one with implications for life on earth and beyond. science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…
