Published a press release on our work creating new yeast strains for lager beer, using hybridization with wild Patagonian yeast and experimental evolution. www.su.se/english/news...
Research on yeast can untap new lager beer flavours Lager is the most widely consumed style of beer, dominating the world market. But lager flavours and aromas are strongly limited. This is because t...
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...
