Description
Dewi Yuliani, Romaidi, and Tatsuya Ueki report, in 2026, a sea bacterium enzyme that does two jobs at once. The enzyme normally helps build proteins by loading a building block onto carrier RNA. The team cloned it from a marine Shewanella strain and made it in the lab. Tests showed it also turns toxic vanadium, in its five-plus state, into a milder four-plus form.
Zinc and copper ions boosted the cleaning act by up to three quarters. Vanadium spills from industry threaten soil and water, so microbe cleaners draw interest. A dual-use enzyme could aid green clean-up rigs. The authors give rate figures for the new act. Field proof still lies ahead.
