Nylon manufacture could be revolutionized by the discovery that bacteria can make a key chemical involved in the process, without emitting harmful greenhouse gases.<\/p>\n

\n <\/section>\n

Scientists have developed a sustainable method of making one of the most valuable industrial chemicals in the world\u2014known as adipic acid\u2014which is a key component of the material.<\/p>\n

More than two million tons of the versatile fabric\u2014used to make clothing, furniture and parachutes\u2014is produced globally each year, with a market value of around \u00a35 billion.
\nIndustrial production of adipic acid relies on fossil fuels and produces large amounts of nitrous oxide\u2014a greenhouse gas three hundred times more potent than carbon dioxide. A sustainable production method is urgently required to reduce the damage caused to the environment, the team says.
\nScientists from the University of Edinburgh altered the genetic code of the common bacteria E.coli in the lab. The modified cells were grown in liquid solutions containing a naturally occurring chemical, called guaiacol, which is the main component of a compound that gives plants their shape.
\nFollowing a 24-hour incubation period, the modified bacteria transformed the guaiacol into adipic acid, without producing nitrous oxide.
\nThe environmentally friendly app<\/a>roach could be scaled up to make adipic acid on an industrial scale, researchers say.
\nThe study is published in ACS Synthetic Biology<\/i>. It was funded by the Carnegie Trust and UK Research and Innovation.
\nLead author Jack Suitor, a Ph.D. student in the University of Edinburgh’s School of Biological Science<\/a>s, said the team is continually exploring new ways of using bacteria to produce chemicals.
\nHe said: “I am really excited by these results. It is the first time adipic acid has been made directly from guaiacol, which is one of the largest untapped renewable resources on the planet. This could entirely change how nylon is made.”
\nDr. Stephen Wallace, Principle Investigator of the study, and a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow suggested microbes could help solve many other problems facing society.
\nHe said: “If bacteria can be programmed to help make nylon from plant waste\u2014something that cannot be achieved using traditional chemical methods\u2014we must ask ourselves what else they could do, and where the limits lie. We are all familiar with the use of microbes to ferment food and beer\u2014now we can ferment materials and medicines. The possibilities of this approach to create a sustainable future are staggering.”<\/p>\n
