NEWS RELEASE
Rice researchers bioengineer mussel-inspired sticky microorganisms to help break down plastic waste
Rice scientists have tapped into nature's adhesive genius — the sticky power of mussels — to create bioengineered microorganisms with powerful cling that could help transform environmental cleanup. By combining this amplified sticking force with an enzyme that breaks down harmful plastics, their discovery offers a potential new tool for tackling plastic pollution. The research, published in Small Methods, could also curb biofouling, addressing long-standing challenges in industries ranging from shipping to medicine.
