Thermotargetron for modifying thermophilic microorganisms
The Thermotargetron is a genetic tool for modifying thermophilic micro­organisms using a type-II intron element, TeI3c‑4c. It allows efficient gene inactivation across a broad host range without needing selection markers and can target short gene sequences. Background Renewable fuels like bioethanol are increasingly vital due to rising global...

Protein-based Nanofabrics as Multi-functional “Green” Air Filtering Materials for High Efficiency Particulate and Toxic Chemical Filtration
AbstractAir filters currently in the market cannot simultaneously purify the air from particles and chemicals effectively. The non-degradable synthetic nature of existing products also creates environmental issues. To solve these problems, researchers at Washington State University have developed a green multi-functional air filter. This filter is...
