đź’Š Scientists use bacteria to turn plastic waste into paracetamol
Researchers have discovered that bacteria can convert plastic waste into paracetamol using genetically modified E. coli.The process works with material from plastic bottles and can produce paracetamol with up to 92 percent yield in under 24 hours.The method combines chemistry and biology to create medicine more sustainably while cleaning plastic waste from the environment.New chemical reaction discovered in living cellsBacteria can convert plast…
A team of researchers from the University of Edinburgh has managed to convert plastic waste, specifically derived from PET, the common material into soda bottles and food containers, into paracetamol, one of the most commonly used analgesics in the world, using genetically modified bacteria. This finding, published in Nature Chemistry, represents a revolutionary advance in the sustainable production of drugs, as it prevents the use of toxic proc…
