Helena Schulz-Mirbach from the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology in Marburg has been awarded this year's DECHEMA Zukunftsforum Prize. The prize honours her master's thesis in the field of synthetic biology, where she implemented a novel reaction in the model organism E. coli. This enables a wide range of new chemical conversions…
Dr Johannes Rebelein, Emmy Noether research group leader at the Max Planck Institute in Marburg, characterised a bacterial enzyme that can convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into hydrocarbons. This unique natural mechanism could make the greenhouse gas usable for the production of sustainable chemicals, fuels or plastics. Rebelein has been awarded the…
