ORNL has developed bacterial strains that can utilize a common plastic co-monomer as a feedstock. This will help enable modern, petroleum-derived plastics to be converted into value-added chemicals.
Important of the application is enabling a cost-effective precision manufacturing method Current technology is limited to injection molded individual pi-joints limiting control of pi-joint direction, this creates hurdle in introducing high volume production to the composite in
Due to a genes unique nucleotide sequences acquired through horizontal gene transfer, the gene has a transcriptional repressor activity and innate enzymatic role.
This invention demonstrates the strong potential for hybridization of CNF with natural fibers for facile drying and inclusion of the CNF into polymer matrices for high performance composites.
We have developed bacterial strains that can convert sustainable feedstocks and waste feedstocks into chemical precursors for next generation plastics.
ORNL has identified a panel of novel nylon hydrolases with varied substrate and product selectivity.
Genetic modification of microbes that are thermophiles—ones that grow at elevated temperatures—is extremely challenging. Tools developed for E. coli, a typical host for protein production, typically do not function at elevated temperatures.
The invention provides a gene and methods for maintaining meiotic chromosomal architecture
