The paper identifies two DCS/PKS pairs in ginger that synthesize curcumin and 6-dehydrogingerdione, showing one can act as a dual-function enzyme for both products.

The paper designs a protein scaffolding system that self-assembles into robust, functional macroscale materials for biotechnological applications.

This paper engineers B. subtilis to create a durable living biocomposite material using silica scaffolds and genetic modifications for self-assembly and regeneration.
