Upcycling of Plastic Waste to Recombinant Silk Proteins via Pseudomonas sp
RPI ID: 2021-045-401 Innovation Summary: This method uses engineered Pseudomonas bacteria to convert plastic waste into recombinant silk proteins. The system includes metabolic pathways that degrade polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and redirect carbon into silk protein synthesis. It supports circular bioeconomy models and reduces environmental impact....
