Bacterial biofilm protein prevents ice cream drip
Finally, scientist have solved one of the biggest problems of our lives: dripping ice cream.
Don't you just hate that dripping ice cream? Finally, there is a solution. Two UK Universities solved the problem by adding a bacterial protein to the ice cream. The protein, BslA is made by Bacillus subtilis, a natural soil-dwelling bacterium. BslA is part of Bacillus biofilms. In ice cream, BslA holds the fat and sugar together, which will cause less dripping when it gets warm.
