Scientists at the US Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have demonstrated a method to insert genes into a variety of microorganisms that previously would not accept foreign DNA, with the goal of creating custom microbes to break down plants for bioenergy.
Sometimes solutions to the biggest problems can be found in the smallest details. The work of biochemist Alex Johs at 91°µÍø bears this out, as he focuses on understanding protein structures and molecular interactions to resolve complex global problems like the spread of mercury pollution in waterways and the food supply.
