美国明尼苏达州立大学的研究人员于2016年2月9日宣布,已将新的合成生物途径实施了工程化,可以更有效和更低成本地将农业废弃物,如玉米秸秆和橘子皮转变成各种有用的绿色产品,范围可从氨纶到鸡饲料。该研究成果已发表在《自然化学生物学(Nature Chemical Biology)》期刊上。在这项研究中,研究人员着眼于将木质生物质转变为生产有用产品,采用纤维素生物质生产丁二醇,丁二醇可用于生产氨纶,这种生物氨纶可用于制造服装和家居用品。据估计,在2014年,80%的氨纶用于制取衣服。
Researchers at the University of Minnesota in the United States announced on February 9, 2016 that they have engineered new synthetic biological pathways to more effectively and cost-effectively convert agricultural waste, such as corn stover and orange peel, into Useful green products ranging from spandex to chicken feed. The research has been published in the journal Nature Chemical Biology. In this study, researchers focused on converting woody biomass to useful products, using cellulose biomass to produce butanediol, butanediol to produce spandex, which can be used to make garments and housewares. It is estimated that in 2014, 80% of spandex was used to make clothes.
