Mitochondrial membranes (the cell’s power plants) in blue, captured with MAICO 💙🔬 Thank you @bezbez.bsky.social
for sharing.
Drosophila, blue is mitochondrial membrane. This is a video of a video of a video >_>

Taken with the lovable @hamamatsucorp.bsky.social MAICO confocal.

We genetically disconnected starch from the matrix in the algal pyrenoid!

A saga1;saga2 double mutant lacks a starch sheath!

Our model: SAGA1 & SAGA2 locally initiate starch on the pyrenoid surface by enriching starch precursors.

Kinesin-4 (cyan) mixed with Kinesin-1, with PEG and microtubules (red). I spent the rest of my PhD trying to understand Kinesin-4 on it's own in this sort of system, and we never came back to mixing them.

From @linnealemma.bsky.social , an active nematic liquid crystal. But the system doesn't have enough phosphoenol pyruvate to keep fueling ATP regeneration, so watch the motion stop and the liquid crystal lock in from right to left!

I can't believe we never published any of this stuff. It's so bittersweet everytime I go through old presentations and find it again.

Algal pyrenoids—condensates that mediate ~1/3 of Earth’s CO2 fixation—change size and number as cells divide. Our data suggest a simple control mechanism: a kinase that continuously ejects material from the condensate! ☀️🌍🔬💧 #Biophysics #Photosynthesis
