Discarded waste products are processed into a slurry and fed to a genetically engineered yeast, which produces nutrients
Scientists at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIU) have developed a way to make 3D-printed cookies using genetically engineered yeast to produce protein and nutrients from plastic and agricultural waste.
The project aims to tackle two of the planet’s crises: plastic waste accumulation and food insecurity.
The team first set out to develop ways to make use of waste plastics, Lahiru Jayakody, an associate professor of microbiology at Southern Illinois University said in an interview with the American Chemical Society…
