3/ Biological insight:
• A comparative analysis of E. coli, P. putida, C. necator, B. subtilis, P. thermoglucosidasius
• PCA reveals strain- and condition-specific metabolic fingerprints
• P. thermoglucosidasius shows a lower adenylate energy charge than mesophiles

2/ Highlights:
• Cost-effective 13C-labeled internal standard production
• 96 metabolites quantified in <16 minutes
• Applicable across Gram-positive and Gram-negative species
• Captures inter- and intra-species metabolic phenotypes

Good news everyone! (I'd need more good news these days) I'm happy to share here our latest contribution in COBIOT on advances in engineering substrate scope in Pseudomonas cell factories. Great collaboration with @stefanodonati.bsky.social and Miguel Silva! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Advances in engineering substrate scope of Pseudomonas cell factories
Most current industrial bioprocesses use well-established model microorganisms and simple sugar substrates from edible starch or molasses. To broaden …

📣 Exciting news!

The Novo Nordisk Foundation will continue to support an excellence center for #biotechnology at #DTU, building on the legacy of DTU Biosustain over the past 14 years. Grateful to have been part of this!

Now an even BRIGHTer future ahead 🌟

Proud of the efforts of our team to deeply think about how to improve practices our laboratory, now certified LEAF bronze (hopefully soon silver and gold!). Thank you especially to Baris Kara who led the effort as well as Mariana Arango Saavedra and Catarina Rocha

Judging on the number of followers I got without posting almost anything 😅 I assume a large part of the scientific community is actually moving here! Genuinely curious whether this science-twitter 2.0 will work out

A nice collaborative effort with @enricoorsi (first of many!) born after many long conversations. I am also grateful to @pabnik.bsky.social and Lars Nielsen for their feedback and mentorship.
