Power-to-vitamins

Microbes produce folate from simple basic ingredients. Biotechnology team at University of Tübingen obtains valuable byproduct in protein production – Contribution to feeding a growing world population without livestock farming….

Harnessing Mutations: A Breakthrough in Fruit Fly Genetics

A game-changing technique, TF-High-Evolutionary (TF-HighEvo), allows large-scale assessment of de-novo mutations in multicellular organisms. Developed in collaboration with researchers from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and the Friedrich Miescher…

Enzyme-inspired catalyst

… puts chemicals in right position to make ethers. Taking inspiration from enzymes, chemists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign developed a catalyst to simplify the synthesis of ethers, key…

Unbiased look at plants

… uncovers how surprisingly transcription is regulated in plants. In multicellular organisms, transcriptional regulation allows for specialization, such that cells carrying the same genetic code can carry out different functions…

Superior light-to-chemical energy conversion with Coulombic dyads

Scientists in Mainz established a novel photocatalyst class that uses precious metals more efficiently. Inspired by nature’s photosynthesis, photocatalysts use light to trigger a chemical reaction that would otherwise only…

Newly discovered antimicrobial could prevent or treat cholera

Natural antimicrobials called microcins are produced by bacteria in the gut and show promise in fighting infection. More than a million people each year die from infections by pathogens that…
