Bakteria Zaigeuza Plastiki Mabadiliko Kubwa kwa Utengenezaji wa Dawa

THE SCIENTIST

Utafiti Edinburgh umechanganya E. coli iliyobadilishwa ili kubadilisha plastiki ya PET kuwa paracetamol ndani ya saa 24, kwa 92% ya yield na karibu hakuna moshi. Ni hatua kubwa ya kutumia biolojia na kemia kurejesha sumu na kutoa dawa kwa njia rafiki kwa mazingira.
