Our latest paper is out now in @J_A_C_S. In this study we tried to push the limits of #electrochemistry beyond proteins, to studying entire pathways of biological electron transfer ⚡️🦠. Here's a summary 🧵 (1/10)

Funded position available to join my new team at @UniTurku Finland to do a PhD exploring how circadian clocks regulate extracellular electron transfer in photosynthetic cells. Application open until end of summer, start by end of year. Please share/apply https://t.co/k7EGOPgzfT

@Ella_Maru @J_A_C_S Thanks! It should work, as long as your membrane isolation method used doesn’t introduce defects into the membrane that are larger than the ones being investigated

Thanks to all the authors in @CJHoweLab, @JZhangLab and elsewhere who helped with this study over the years. Also to the fantastic (and super quick) editors and reviewers whose comments greatly improved the manuscript, as well as the @BBSRC and others for their support. (10/10)

This technique (native membrane electrochemistry) combines the interpretability of protein electrochemistry with the complexity of microbial electrochemistry. We envision applications in investigating #bioenergetics, as well as #bioelectricity and #biocatalysis. (9/10)

[Cambridge Biochemistry @CamBiochem]

A paper published in @CurrentBiology by Alberto Scarampi and colleagues in @CJHoweLab adds significantly to our understanding of bacterial evolution by showing how #cyanobacteria can rapidly develop resistance to a #herbicide. Read more: https://t.co/RhnPrR3WHE

Here's something a little different to our usual research. In our new perspective out now in Applied Phycology (@bps_algae), we describe how you can use the electrical signals of algae to generate music 🦠⚡️🎵. 🧵1/12

A big thank you to Juliet Brodie, as well as the rest of the Applied Phycology editorial team and our peer reviewers for helping us with this (rather unorthodox) paper. 11/12
