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.
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.
An innovative system for automating the surveillance and manipulation of plant tissues using advanced machine vision and robotic tools.
