How Bacteria Produce Eco Nylon (BIOFACTURING). Ft. PhD Student Jack Suitor
Show Notes

How can we produce useful materials from Bacteria? Today we have PhD Student Jack Suitor to tell us how we can modify bacteria against their own nature to act as mini-factories to convert guaiacol, a paper industry byproduct, to adipic acid, a key component of Nylon production that is otherwise produced from oil!

Our CODA is a special dive into microbiology with our resident microbiologist Hanna Peach.
