Withlab member @spencemacdon sat down with @azom to talk about the discovery of the new biopolymer, acholetin.
AZoM speaks to Dr. Spence Macdonald from @ABOzymes about his discovery of a novel #biopolymer, acholetin, synthesized from a bacterial enzyme: #acholetin #bacteria #enzymes.

I did the same with my Sciex API300 packing case many years ago. but for my son's tree house. He is now 33 and the tree house long gone!.
Always chuffed for a fellow facility when they get a grant for new equipment. Even happier still when we get to recycle the shipping boxes in to our new chicken run’s roof! @Astbury_BSL @Bex_16 #fromfalconstochickens #reducereuserecycle #collaborations #corporatecoop
