there's still part of me that hopes for Martian life, but if there is any it's microbial and likely subsurface. Possibly the surface is just too hostile for any life. Maybe we should take that lesson.

Online now: Microbial production of the low-caloric sweetener d-allulose from d-glucose by evolutionary engineering
Microbial production of the low-caloric sweetener d-allulose from d-glucose by evolutionary engineering
Lehnert et al. combine adaptive laboratory evolution and metabolic engineering to enable microbial d-allulose production from d-glucose at 30°C with 18–19% yield. Evolved glucose isomerases and sugar transporters in strains deficient in glucose-dependent growth provide a microbial chassis for producing d-allulose and possibly other d-fructose-derived compounds under mild process conditions.
