New publication in ACS Synthetic Biology
The outcomes of our recent research conducted in collaboration with Victor de Lorenzo from CNB-CSIC (Spain) and Ed Bayer from Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel) was just published in one of the top journals in the field of synthetic biology - ACS Synthetic Biology! This story is an essential part of our long-term effort to build a Pseudomonas putida-based bacterial chassis for the degradation and valorization of organic waste polymers (lignocellulosic residues, petro-based plastics). The team of Victor de Lorenzo provided new P. putida strain EM371 with a streamlined genome and "shaved" cell surface for facilitated display of recombinant proteins, our group performed research on the surface display of designer protein scaffolds which can be used for attachment of diverse enzymatic activities on the surface of P. putida cells via highly specific binding domains. Ed Bayer supported us with his life-long experience and priceless know-how on biological "parts" necessary for such an endeavour.
