    Plastics are beyond the reach of traditional materials in terms of plasticity, durability and chemical stability, so they are widely used in industrial production and life

    The metabolomics research group led by Cui Qiu, a researcher at the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Processes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has successfully established a mature gene manipulation platform for Clostridium thermocellum, a typical thermophilic bacterium.
    Arbitrary genetic modification realizes the directional construction of efficient whole-bacteria catalysts


    .


    Using Clostridium thermocellum as a chassis cell, the researchers heterologously expressed the thermophilic cutinase LCC from the branch and leaf compost metagenome in C.
    thermocellum, thereby successfully establishing a thermophilic whole bacteria catalyst with PET degradation function (Fig.
