Latest press releases from BIAM
Today, together with the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, we have succeeded in understanding and demonstrating that this “FAP” enzyme can produce gasoline-type hydrocarbons, thanks to an auto-catalytic effect.
A groundbreaking mechanism enabling plants to optimize their photosynthesis has been unveiled by a scientific collaboration led by the BIAM. Remarkably, this discovery involves molecules of bacterial origin, and opens promising avenues for developing agriculture that is more resilient to climate change. Press release
Staphylococcus aureus, a leading cause of fatal bacterial infections worldwide, has been extensively studied. Research conducted by INRAE in collaboration with the BIAM has revealed a key protection mechanism of this bacterium against a toxic molecule found in mammalian blood. This breakthrough paves the way for developing new antibiotic strategies. Press release
Plants resistant to a key inhibitor, with a strong influence on the process of cell growth, have been discovered by a team from BIAM. This is an asset for a better understanding of plant growth regulation, with potential implications in both the food security sector and the treatment of inflammatory diseases and cancers.
