Application


  • Biopolymer synthesis for agricultural use: A study engineered Pseudomonas chlororaphis to synthesize biopolymers incorporating 3-hydroxybutyrate and medium-chain-length 3-hydroxyalkanoates from dodecanoic acid. This process highlights its role in sustainable bioplastic production, which could benefit agricultural practices by developing biodegradable mulch films (Deng et al., 2024).

Aminoglycoside antibiotics and cationic detergents constitute two classes of clinically important drugs and antiseptics. Their bacteriological and clinical efficacy, however, has decreased recently due to antibiotic resistance. We have synthesized aminoglycoside-lipid conjugates in which the aminoglycoside neomycin forms the cationic
