However, Mairhofer explains, continuous automated manufacturing using E.coli cells has traditionally proved hard due to genetic drift and mutations.
In a true stroke of genius, an MIT doctoral candidate got Doom to run on E. coli cells, blurring the lines between science and gaming.
During division of a living E. coli cell, the researchers observed visible membrane holes that close and reform again and diffuse across the membrane.
Using knowledge gained from fundamental-based research, the lab introduced a version of this secretion machine into beneficial E. coli and modified it to secrete proteins into its surroundings.
