Only indigo gives denim its distinct blue colour. The dye is globally produced in quantities of up to 80,000 tonnes per year. However, its chemical production relies on fossil fuels, and some of the by-products are extremely toxic to the environment and human health. After three years of research, Matteo Plankesteiner from Sven Panke's Bioprocess Lab has successfully developed a fermentation process for the synthesis of bio-indigo from renewable feedstock, such as glucose. The quality of this dye allows for direct application in fibre staining under industrial conditions. Find news post at https://bsse.ethz.ch/news-and-events/...
