PORT MORESBY: United States President Joe Biden will meet 18 leaders from the South Pacific when he visits Papua New Guinea in May, a top regional diplomat said on Saturday, as the US and China vie for influence in the region. After the end of World War 2, the South Pacific was seen as a relative diplomatic backwater, but it is increasingly the arena for powers to compete for commercial, political and military influence. Papua New Guinea Foreign Minister Justin Tkatchenko said Biden would attend bilateral talks with his hosts and was "also having a meeting with the 18 Pacific Island leaders" from the Pacific Island Forum — a regional bloc of mostly small states that are scattered across the vast swathe of ocean.

Our scientists have a workflow for developing new microbial strains that makes it quicker, easier, and less expensive than existing methods. They have now used the workflow to design a bacterium that can make target molecules by converting a type of plant tissue that often goes to waste in agriculture and forest management. The approach will help make the biomanufacturing industry more sustainable . Using engineered microbes as microscopic factories has given the world steady sources of life-saving drugs, revolutionized the food industry, and allowed us to make sustainable versions of valuable chemicals previously made from petroleum.
