Engineered E. Coli Transforms Waste Plastic Into Common Painkiller
Researchers genetic engineer E. A method is designed to convert plastic waste into a valuable drug using coli. In a success study, researchers. The Coli bacteria were modified to digest polyethylene sterehelets (pets), which is a regular plastic used in bottles and packaging. Microbes were designed to convert plastic practical chemicals to salicylic acid, which is an important component of medicines that relieve aspirin. The process includes two main steps: First using enzymes that break pets to terraral acids, and secondly using engineering bacteria, that connection to salicylic acid converted. This innovation provides a permanent approach to handling plastic pollution by producing useful chemicals at the same time. While the method at an early stage, the method of applications of industrial fame promises that can reduce plastic waste and contribute to a circular economy. The task shows how synthetic biology can solve environmental problems and reduce the dependence on fossil fuel -based production. More adaptation is required before commercial distribution.
