Stephen Techtmann and Lindsay Putman (both BioSci) were quoted by The Daily Mining Gazette in a story highlighting the BioPROTEIN research project at Michigan Tech.
David Shonnard, Rebecca Ong and Jeff Naber were mentioned as members of the research team for the project, which uses bacteria to break waste plastics down to be recycled into useful products, including a protein powder similar to vegemite, lubricants, gases and candle wax. The project was featured in MTU’s 2022 Research Magazine.
