Research team successfully produces microbial plastic to replace PET bottles.

KAIST research team has succeeded in producing a microbial-based plastic that is biodegradable.

The research team used metabolic engineering techniques to build a platform microbial strain that enhances the metabolic flow of protocatechuic acid, which is used as a precursor for several pseudoaromatic dicarboxylic acids.
