The aim: a circular economy of biogenic resources based on algae

Algae could become an important resource in the future, if you understand the chemistry behind it. With the participation of TU Wien, researchers have now decoded how algae biomass is degraded. Algae form the basis of the marine ecosystem, and store more carbon than all land plants put together. The algae’s carbohydrates are broken down

Could production of plastic be a closed cycle and no longer dependent on crude oil?

A research team from the University of Greifswald and Helmholtz-Zentrum-Berlin (HZB) has solved the molecular structure of the important enzyme MHETase at BESSY II. MHETase was discovered in bacteria and together with a second enzyme – PETase – is able to break down the widely used plastic PET into its basic building blocks. This 3D
