Researchers at the Department of Energys Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Ohio State University have discovered a new microbial pathway that produces ethylene, providing a potential avenue for biomanufacturing a common component of plastics, adhesives, coolants and other everyday products.
The discovery, published inScience, sheds light on a long-standing mystery about how ethylene is produced in anaerobic, or oxygen-deprived, soils and points to potential paths to prevent crop damage from hig…
