12.Keynote – Directed evolution of material-producing bacteria
Engineers often use high temperatures, pressures and polluting chemicals to make synthetic materials. By contrast, biology produces remarkable materials like wood and bone using widely available chemical resources in water and at ambient temperature. The ability of organisms to create materials under such mild processing conditions relies on the intricate biological machinery of living cells. […]
12.Invited – Biocatalytic production of solar chemicals and fuels by photosynthetic cell factories
Photosynthetic organisms convert sunlight, CO₂, water, and mineral nutrients into energy-rich organic compounds and oxygen, forming the foundation of life on Earth. Beyond their natural role, algae and cyanobacteria can be harnessed for the sustainable production of valuable biochemicals. These organisms can host synthetic metabolic pathways and enzymes, enabling them to act as microbial cell […]
12.1 Functionalization of Plant Cells with Chitosan-modified Polyethyleneimine Nanoparticles
Plant cell suspension cultures provide a powerful and versatile platform for studying cellular processes and metabolic pathways in a controlled environment. Their manipulability enables targeted investigations into key physiological mechanisms, including carbon dioxide (CO2) uptake, a crucial step in photosynthesis. Enhancing these cultures with functional materials, such as nanoparticles, hold promise for improving CO2 capture […]
