Europa’s inhaalslag op defensie en energie komt op stoom. Maar voor onze voedselvoorziening blijven we afhankelijk van landen waarmee we liever geen zaken doen. De EU kan er niet meer omheen: meer aut...

Analysis of papers from millions of scientists shows that older researchers tend to stick with ideas from their past.

Synthetic biologists are engineering bacteria to feast on oil, plastic and toxic chemicals.

Wie de nieuwe MacBook Neo van Apple openschroeft, ziet iets onverwacht: een batterij die simpel te vervangen is. Dat komt door nieuwe EU-regels, die het makkelijker maken voor consumenten om hun eigen...

Maren Nattermann, Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology, on Marjory Stephenson (1885–1948): pioneer of chemical microbiology, whose work on bacterial metabolic...

Are you just as excited as we are about the fascinating world of microorganisms? Do you want to contribute to exploring and genomically characterize novel prokaryotic lineages? Do you have a PhD degre...

The scale of plant agriculture can be used to mitigate climate change, and meaningful targets (synthetic biology and comparators) can be selected to increa

Biological carbon fixation is currently limited to seven naturally occurring pathways. Synthetic carbon fixation pathways have the potential to surpass aerobic natural pathways in efficiency, but none...

We introduce MOSAIC, a highly efficient protocol for the editing of plasmids and generation of combinatorial plasmid libraries. This quick protocol employs the single-stranded DNA annealing protein Cs...

A DNA-binding protein, DnaA, regulates the initiation of chromosomal replication in bacteria. Here, Olivi et al. show that the bacterial chromosome sequesters DnaA in a growth rate-dependent manner, s...

The School of Life Sciences at EPFL invites applications for a faculty position in life science engineering. Appointments will be at Tenure Track Assistant Professor or at Associate Professor level. W...

Synthetic metabolism has the potential to transform carbon capture, bioremediation, or bioproduction strategies. To transfer metabolic designs from an…

De ondertekenaars van deze petitie laten zien dat het Nederlandse volk klaar is met een minister die de hand boven het hoofd gehouden wordt om de coalitie bij elkaar te houden. Dit terwijl de minister...

Zeker nu minister Bruins van OCW de grootste bezuinigingen op het hoger onderwijs in decennia heeft aangekondigd is het essentieel dat de sector zich niet tegen elkaar uit laat spelen en solidair met ...

An engineered one-carbon-fixation pathway increases biomass yields of Cupriavidus necator compared with the Calvin cycle and can support future, sustainable bio-based production.
