The HMG-box protein PtHMG1 modulates lipid accumulation and fatty acid composition in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionThe diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum is a premier biological platform for producing high-value polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). However, the transcriptional mechanisms coordinating lipid accumulation and fatty acid composition remain ...

Biosynthesis and Genetic Tuning of Guanine Crystals via Metabolic Engineering of Yeast

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We demonstrate how yeast cells can be harnessed as cellular factories for the synthesis of optically functional guanine crystals, where genetic editing is used to tune crystal size, order and optical properties. This demonstrates a powerful new biosynthetic approach for the development of sustainable and biocompatible optical pigments, which utilizes ...

Photo‐Switchable Molecular Module Programming PET Biodegradation in Aquatic Environments

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We address the plastic durability paradox by integrating an itaconic acid–derived pyrrolidone module into polymer backbones. Sunlight in water triggers Norrish Type I ring‐opening and hydrophilization, enabling rapid biodegradation into nontoxic minerals.

A Cryopreservation‐Based Supply Chain Strategy for Extrusion Bioprinting in Space

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Extrusion bioprinting on crewed space platforms requires a bioink that stays functional along the logistic chain. Here, cells and biomaterial ink travel separately, the cells cryopreserved and the ink cold stored, and are combined only minutes before printing.

Biotechnological exploitation of microalgae [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2015
Microalgae are a diverse group of single-cell photosynthetic organisms that include cyanobacteria and a wide range of eukaryotic algae. A number of microalgae contain high-value compounds such as oils, colorants, and polysaccharides, which are used by the food additive, oil, and cosmetic industries, among others.
