Boosted soil bacterium shows promise for sustainable bioplastic production

The soil bacterium Cupriavidus necator has attracted the attention of researchers and industry for decades. This is partly because, through biochemical reactions, the bacterium converts the renewable raw materials formic acid and carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable products such as bioplastics.
