ITHACA, New York, Feb. 13 -- Cornell University issued the following news:
Cornell researchers have created a new version of a microbe to compete economically with E. coli - a bacteria commonly used as a research tool due to its ability to synthesize proteins - to conduct low-cost and scalable synthetic biological experiments.
As an inexpensive multiplier - much like having a photocopier in a test tube - the bacteria Vibrio natriegens could help labs test protein varian . . .
