The researchers tested 24 bacterial enzymes on hundreds of blood samples and found that they were highly efficient at converting A and B group blood into universal donor blood.

When this lipase, derived from the anaerobic bacterium Pelosinus fermentans, was applied to polyethylene, the weight-average molecular weight decreased by 44.6% and the number-average molecular ...

The aim is to use enzymes from bacteria and fungi and improve their ability to break down plastic faster. One challenge is how well these enzymes can bind to plastic. The researchers are therefore ...
