Biotechnology has been built on the foundation of a small handful of well characterized and
well-engineered organisms. Recent years have seen a breakout performer gain attention as …

Polymer production is rapidly increasing, but there are no large-scale technologies available
to effectively mitigate the massive accumulation of these recalcitrant materials. One potential …

Plastics are invading nearly all ecosystems on earth, acting as emerging repositories for
toxic organic pollutants and thereby imposing substantial threats to ecological integrity. The …

Synthetic polymers, commonly known as plastics, are currently present in all aspects of our
lives. Although they are useful, they present the problem of what to do with them after their …

Carboxylic ester hydrolases with the capacity to degrade polyesters are currently highly
sought after for their potential use in the biological degradation of PET and other chemically …

While fluorescence‐based high‐throughput screening (HTS) has been valuable for
identifying enzymes and microorganisms for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) …

Wastewater treatment plants are one of the major pathways for microplastics to enter the
environment. In general, microplastics are contaminants of global concern that pose risks to …

摘要合成生物学通过引入工程科学“自下而上” 认识生命体系的理念, 在生命科学研究中采用“
设计—构建—测试—学习” 迭代的研究范式, 并在基因组和系统生物学的基础上 …

Production of synthetic plastic obtained from fossil fuels are considered as a constantly
growing problem and lack in the management of plastic waste has led to severe microplastic …

Synthetic biology aims to establish engineering principles for biological systems by
leveraging the design-build-test-learn (DBTL) cycle. Central to the success of the DBTL …
