Bioengineers from Kobe University and Kaneka Corporation have developed a flexible, strong, and easy-to-shape plastic using LAHB and PLA. The modified plastic is highly biodegradable and has potential for green plastic production.

Therefore, they managed to achieve a relatively flexible, strong, and easy-to-shape plastic using LAHB and PLA.

The modified plastic has been devised for “industrial-scale, tunable production of a material that holds great potential for turning the plastic industry green.”Manipulating the organism’s genome The organism’s genome was manipulated to create the bacteria. In other words, the team added new genes and deleted ‘interfering’ ones.

Bioengineer Taguchi Seiichi said, “By blending polylactic acid with LAHB, the multiple problems of polylactic acid can be overcome“The so-modified material is expected to become an environmentally sustainable bioplastic that satisfies the conflicting needs of physical robustness and biodegradability.”

Researchers develop genomic method of monitoring for pesticide resistanceFarmers rely on pesticides to control agricultural pests. But insects often develop resistance to the toxins in pesticides. University of Maryland researchers have developed and successfully tested a strategy for using genomics to monitor for and identify emerging resistance to specific toxins early, well before it becomes a widespread problem.
