Caffeine-Addicted Bacteria, Created In UT Austin Lab, May Help Combat Water Pollution

A student research team led by Jeffrey E. Barrick of the University of Texas at Austin’s Center for Systems and Synthetic Biology, Institute for Cellular and Molecular Biology, has genetically engineered coffee-hound bacteria to subsist solely on caffeine. The researchers set themselves the task of engineering a synthetic packet of genes for breaking down coffee’s active constituent caffeine and related compounds that can be moved easily to other microbes, metabolizing, or breaking down, caffeine from P. putida into biotechnology workhorse E. coli, which is easy to handle and grow.
