Case study: Discovering new enzymes to upcycle food waste

How the MGnify microbiome-protein database is helping researchers identify cocktails of enzymes to upcycle animal bones and other by-products
Illustration showing fish bones on the sea floor, surrounded by DNA helix and microbe icons. In the centre is an icon that looks like barrel, with the word MGnify on it, symbolising the MGnify database for microbiome data. On the right are green sachets with the words "protein powder"on them. The illustration is meant to represent some of the elements required when upcycling fish and more generally animal bone into protein powder.
