Researchers have mapped the genes of a remarkable bacterium that consumes carbon dioxide (CO₂) and turns it into useful products. Perhaps they can be used to make #plastic, #medicine and #food while also removing #CO2 from the atmosphere, according to the researchers.

@WoolstonLabNEU Thank you Ben! We did not try yet, but the method should work in Clostridia as well. A challenge could be sampling, you would probably need to do it in an anaerobic hood to have good samples

1/ 🚨 New preprint! We've developed a robust IDMS-based LC-MS/MS workflow for high-throughput intracellular metabolomics in diverse bacteria. https://t.co/PxBRrUN1ag

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

📢 Preprint alert! In this study we provide new genomic insights into #CupriavidusNecator for #C1Biomanufacturing:
- Genome assemblies for more strains
- Species definition refined
- Traits & methylation systems explored
Great job by @magnus_gj and team

📣 Exciting news to close the year!

The Novo Nordisk Foundation will continue to support an excellence center for biotechnology at @DTUtweet, building on the remarkable legacy of @DTUBiosustain over the past 14 years.

An even BRIGHTer future ahead!🌟

@NicoC_MicSynBio Congrats Nico! Looking forward to see much more cool science coming from your group

[Stefano Donati @BioSteDonati]

Cool project from @SheilaIJensen1 et al. from @DTUBiosustain on engineering a synthetic community of E. coli strains that perform in parallel an aerobic or anaerobic fermentation in the same reactor

What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too?

And why should we care? A 🧵 on our paper on the Nobel Laureates.

A teaser: the income distribution of the laureates' fathers.1/N

[Nikel SEM Group @LabNikel]

🚨just released! @bioRxiv_synbio preprint where we harness a medium-scale model to guide the design of a suite of metabolic sensor strains for glyoxylate and show some cool applications
A great collaboration w/ @WeTheBarEvenLab and @erblabs
