This paper engineers Cupriavidus necator H16 to produce aromatic polyhydroxyalkanoates from renewable feedstocks, demonstrating biocatalytic synthesis of bio-polyesters with properties similar to synthetic polymers.

This paper demonstrates the ability of Cupriavidus necator to produce sustainable chemicals from CO2 under lithotrophic conditions, including sucrose, PHAs, and LCOs.

The paper develops a synthetic gene circuit system to identify in vivo-responsive biosensors in gut bacteria, demonstrating their utility in both healthy and inflamed gut environments.
