Massachusetts Institute of Technology chemical engineers have designed a novel genetic switch that allows them to dramatically boost bacteria cells' production of useful chemicals by shutting competing metabolic pathways in the cells. The researchers showed that they could significantly enhance the yield of glucaric acid, a chemical precursor to products such as nylons and detergents. Source Massachusetts Institute of Technology
