Dipping a toe into synthetic biology… our favourite plasmid (pQBR57, if you’re asking) is made into a bioremediation-gene-spreading-machine to help clean-up plastic manufacturing. With Neil Dixon + led by Alejandro Marquiegui www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Genetic bioaugmentation-mediated bioremediation of terephthalate in soil microcosms using an engineered environmental plasmid

bioRxiv - the preprint server for biology, operated by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, a research and educational institution

Amazing!

So cool!

line 332 "colonies were selected and streak on LB agar..." streaked ? 🤔
