Throughout this series, we’ll be focusing onto antibiotics and the problem associated with antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) can occur when microorganisms gain mechanistic advantages which allow them to survive exposure to therapeutic agents such as antibiotics, antifungals, or antivirals. There are many ways microbes can obtain resistance, such as genetic mutations and the transfer of genes, but what proliferates and pushes resistance to happen more rapidly are selective pressures.

Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), together with carbon monoxide (CO), methanol (CH3OH), and formate (HCOOH), form a class of molecules classified as one-carbon (C1) compounds. From a fundamental point of view, carbon is a necessary building block for many commonplace goods, such as biofuels, medicines, and packaging materials. It has been argued that a circular bioeconomy should eliminate, effectively utilise, and sequester more carbon than it emits into the atmosphere.
