By genetically engineering E. coli bacteria to use one of their survival energy storage pathways instead for synthesizing long chains of polyester amides (PEAs), the researchers were able to make ...

This paper shows the first demonstrated synthesis of pN-Phe in Escherichia coli and is one of only a handful of publications that feature an organism designed to autonomously create and harness an ...

Changing Escherichia coli's genetic code may enable the recoded bacterium to be grown in large vats for drug production, without the risk of a viral infection upending the process Close Advertisement ...
