It works ok in cyanobacteria bit decreases a bit frequency of recombination whem compared to the same total homology (750bp each side)

New preprint: eukaryotic origins! 🥁

We propose that iron -not oxygen- may have delayed the rise of complex life. Our model reframes the “oxygen delay” puzzle: the gap between atmospheric O2 and early eukaryotic fossils may reflect iron-mediated stress, not for O2:

Move over mitochondria, a new organelle called the nitroplast is here.

In a Science study last year, researchers reported that a nitrogen-fixing organelle has been identified in a marine alga.

Glad to share our latest paper published in Science Advances! In this work, we show that #light and #CO₂ regulate #TOR through cytoplasmic #dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP), revealing a key metabolic link in TOR [email protected] @science.org science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adu1240

Nice to see additional layers of regulation in arsenic resistance, great work!!

Great work!!

Very interesting work in E.coli!! Would like to see it tested in other organisms especially those using Cu inside the cells like cyanobacteria ...

It is expressed constitutively? For plastocyanin (which is also a blue copper protein) copper is added once you have biomass and induce expression of the protein for better yields

did the one with copper grow?

azurin is probably periplasmic. have you clone the leader peptide? it might be better to add copper once you have some biomass

1mM migth be too high but you have to try

Well said!

There are no illegal protests in a democracy. Fuck that guy.

I currently have two fully-funded PhD opportunities in my lab - both providing a chance to work on the incredible LEAF data set that we have been collecting the last couple of years (220 children followed longitudinally from 10-30 months on measures of attention and early EF). Please share!

So long, Asilomar! Now on my way back to Madrid—quite a hassle due to the strike at Munich Airport ☹️—while reflecting on 3 days of intense discussions on SynBio & Gen Eng. Memorable event, engaging a most diverse group of people & being exposed to a whole bunch of fertile minds in an unique venue 😃

We are saddened to share that John B. Ohlrogge passed away earlier this week. He was a inspiring scientist, a valued friend, and a distinguished colleague whose research legacy will live on at MSU and beyond. https://buff.ly/4hYt2vg

Cyanobacteria are some of the most abundant organisms on the planet. New research shows that silvery bridges link three, four, and sometimes 10 of the photosynthetic cells together. https://buff.ly/3Pqe7xN
