@PeterFineran @Nature @NilsBirkholz Congrats all - can't wait to read it

[Chris Greening @greeninglab]

In our new paper at Cell (@CellCellPress), we reveal secrets of how the third form of life, archaea, make energy. We uncover new lineages of hydrogen-using enzymes, both minimal and complex. These help archaea thrive in all sorts of extreme environments. https://t.co/ZQzYemOI3o

Our huge new preprint is out, the sequel to our Huc paper.
1. Isolation of enzyme that consumes carbon monoxide from air
2. Discovery of quinone extraction as a new mechanism of energy coupling
3. Determination of structural basis of these activities

This paper had an extra long journey through the review and revision process because of lockdowns, supplier delays, equipment repairs... thanks to Nature Micro for sticking with us and for allowing preprints.

Our study of disinfectant mechanisms and antibiotic antagonism is out today in Nature Micro! @PaulsenLab @flamycain @BRaTlab @LipingLiMicrobe @StephanieN @JulianParkhill https://t.co/eqvNia8aIk

[Francesca Short @DrFranShort]

Overall this work and the work of many others suggests we should be much more careful with our disinfectants than we currently are.

@lauraamike Congratulations! Excited to see where you take this work.
