UC 圣地亚哥科学工作者设计细菌,以创纪录的产量生产稀有的章鱼色素,使可持续的大规模制造业成为可能。 UC San Diego scientists engineered bacteria to produce a rare octopus pigment at record yields, enabling sustainable large-scale manufacturing.

圣地亚哥哥伦比亚大学的科学家们设计了细菌来生产Xanthommatin,这是一种稀有的色素,与章鱼伪装有关,使用一种新的方法将产量提高到比以前高1 000倍。 Scientists at UC San Diego have engineered bacteria to produce xanthommatin, a rare pigment linked to octopus camouflage, using a new method that boosts yields up to 1,000 times higher than before. 通过将色素生产与细菌生存联系起来,该团队每升达到最高3克,从而能够利用简单的营养物质高效、大规模地制造。 By linking pigment production to bacterial survival, the team achieved up to 3 grams per liter, enabling efficient, large-scale manufacturing from simple nutrients. 该突破刊登在《自然生物技术》上,展示了一种可持续的生物生产方法,其潜在用途为染料、药品和先进材料。 The breakthrough, published in Nature Biotechnology, showcases a sustainable approach to biomanufacturing with potential applications in dyes, pharmaceuticals, and advanced materials.
