Takahashi’s team wants to produce cellulose bioplastics from agricultural waste, such as leftover banana stems and sugar beet pulp. Cellulose from these crops is harder to process than that from ...

The soil bacterium Cupriavidus necator has attracted the attention of researchers and industry for decades. This is partly ...

A report from the CSIRO has put a spotlight on the growing environmental concerns driving a rise in bioplastics.

Bioplastics, synthesized from plant sugars ... believes the answer lies in a mechanism called DNA endoreplication. The process, which occurs naturally in most flowering plants, gives rise to ...

Scientists enhanced a soilbacterium's metabolism, accelerating growth for efficient bioplastic and chemical production.

They improved the process of using microorganisms in production while using the same ingredients used for making existing bioplastics. When the researchers tested the new material in a nitrogen ...
