Lack of functional polyester-biodegrading potential in marine versus terrestrial environments evidenced by an innovative airbrushing technique Biodegradable plastics, primarily aliphatic polyesters, degrade to varying extents in different environments. However, the absence of easily implement…

Good start to 2025! We need to work towards improving plastic degradation in marine environments.

🔬 Reproducibility is one of the challenges we face in science nowadays. For that reason, SEVA keeps plasmids minimalistic, but functional. We reduce the genetic sequences to the minimum in order to bring the applicability of #SynBio to the maximum! 💡

A profile picture of Douglas Prasher from Martin Chalfie's Nobel Lecture

Do you know who Douglas Prasher is? Many don't, even though he is the person who cloned the original #GFP gene in the late 1980s. In my short history of plant light #microscopy I also cover a bit of his story - & why he is relatively unknown today, despite the importance of his work. See this 🧵👇

Correct! Colonies that secrete esterases that degrade the plastic make halos. The method works very well 😃! More details in the preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This was done with our innovative airbrush method (you can buy it in any hobby store), being able to spray any plastic (PHB, PCL, PLA, PBAT, PES, PBS, etc) on solid media plates. Then you can do a functional evaluation of colonies with the formation of degradation halos

There are 1000x less microbes able to degrade biodegradable plastics (i.e. aliphatic polyesters) in marine environments (sediments) than in their terrestrial counterparts! 🤯 Why? Still don't know🤔 (fig shows log10 values). Check our latest preprint doi.org/10.1101/2024...
