Recently, scientists have discovered that microbes are essential to traditional mozzarella cheese. This discovery was made after a three-year study conducted by researchers from the University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli” in Italy. The study found that bacteria, yeasts, and molds play a vital role in the production of traditional mozzarella. These microbes help ferment the milk, producing the characteristic flavor and texture of the cheese. Without the presence of these microbes, the product would not have the same flavor and texture.

The traditional whaling culture in the North Atlantic is facing a major shift due to the increasing use of petroleum. For centuries, the Inuit people of Greenland have relied on the hunting of whales and other sea mammals to sustain their lifestyle. However, the use of petroleum-based products to power boats, heat homes, and provide light has caused a decline in the need for whale products. As a result, the traditional hunting practices of the Inuit have been threatened, and the cultural importance of the whale hunt has begun to fade.

Researchers have made a breakthrough in creating degradable plastics that could help reduce plastic waste. These new, special plastics are made from a protein found in the wings of flies, and could potentially be used as a sustainable and environmentally friendly replacement for traditional plastics. The protein, resilin, is a rubber-like material that makes up much of the flexible tissue found in the wings of flies. The researchers found that by combining resilin with other proteins, they were able to create a material that was not only durable and flexible, but also biodegradable.
