Learning from nature: biosynthesis of cyanobacterin opens up new class of natural compounds for applications in medicine and agriculture
Researchers in the groups of Prof. Tobias Gulder from TU Dresden and Prof. Tanja Gulder from Leipzig University have succeeded in understanding the biosynthetic mechanisms for the production of the natural product cyanobacterin, which in Nature is produced in small quantities by the cyanobacteria Scytonema hofmanni
Nach dem Vorbild der Natur: Biosynthese von Cyanobacterin eröffnet neue Naturstoffklasse für Anwendungen in Medizin und Landwirtschaft
Forschenden der Arbeitsgruppen um Prof. Tobias Gulder von der TU Dresden und Prof. Tanja Gulder von der Universität Leipzig ist es erstmals gelungen, die biosynthetischen Mechanismen zur Herstellung des Naturstoffs Cyanobacterin, der von der Blaualge Scytonema hofmanni in der Natur in kleinen Mengen produziert wird, aufzuklären
Biosynthetics can be part of the fashion and textile industry’s journey towards a regenerative and circular future, says Textile Exchange
We need to transition away from the extraction of virgin fossil fuels but include existing preferred materials like recycled synthetics, and new areas of innovation, like biosynthetics made from natural, renewable sources such as agricultural waste, food crops, or plants
Hinzufügen von Zucker: Wissenschaftlern gelingt es, PLA-3D-Druck-Material auch mit UV-Licht biologisch abbaubar zu machen
Forscher der University of Bath haben herausgefunden, dass das sonst nur unter strengen industriellen Bedingungen biologisch abbaubare PLA mit Sonnenlicht schneller kompostiert, wenn Zucker dabei ist

Where compostable packaging fits in a circular economy
Compostable packaging is popularly seen as an answer to plastic pollution, but while it has a role to play in a circular economy, it is not a silver bullet. Any time a piece of packaging is used once – no matter how it is disposed of – it is single-use. Preventing waste in the first place should be top priority
