New method to promote biofilm formation and increase efficiency of biocatalysis - Science Daily

The researchers identified a library of synthetic polymers and screened them for their ability to induce biofilm formation in E. coli, a bacterium that is one of the most widely studied micro-organisms, and commonly used in biocatalysis.

Birmingham scientists have revealed a new method to increase efficiency in biocatalysis, in a paper published today in Materials Horizons.Biocatalysis uses enzymes, cells or microbes to catalyse chem… [+3462 chars]
