Ethylene is one of those substances that acts as a precursor to hundreds, maybe thousands, of useful products. According to Wikipedia, it is a hydrocarbon like carbon dioxide but with the formula C2H4, or H2C=CH2. It is a colorless, flammable gas with a faint “sweet and musky” odor when pure. … [continued]

For decades engineers have dreamed of programming organisms to sustainably produce ethylene, a chemical that is nicknamed “the king of petrochemicals” for its importance in plastics. Now, one hopeful pathway to this petrochemical is nearing reality, via a photosynthetic bacterium that is genetically specialized to turn sunlight and carbon dioxide (CO2) into ethylene. But before […]
