Lovely breakfast at sunny #Brisbane #Australia with a beautiful view!
Can’t wait to deliver my #synbio #bioprocessing seminar with the latest updates from @LeoRiosLab @MBB_Ncl at @AIBNatUQ at the University of Queensland

[Prof J Grant Burgess @jgrantburgess]

Great to see this out. Well done @CassieBakshani - clues to improved cleaning of complex food soils using enzymes. A fruitful industrial PhD project with @njlant, @fi_cuskin , William Willats and Hamish Yau @UniofNewcastle @ProcterGamble @MBB_Ncl

We are planning on building from this at @MBB_Ncl @LeoRiosLab where a PhD studentship will be advertised soon!

[Gary Caldwell @applied_marine]

In a change of topic from recent posts, why not read about some of our other work. Turning algae into designer carbon capture living materials. Fighting climate change one cell at a time. @SciencesNCL

Happy to share our latest paper from @lauraellenwalls for the sequential bioconversion of cellulose into jet biofuel using R. flavefaciens and engineered R. toruloides 🎉💪🏼

I‘m really pleased to have had the opportunity to present my project today at the #synbio conference #sbuk2022 hosted by @BiochemSoc. I’ve seen so many great presenters and met exciting people over the last two days! What a supportive community. #BiochemEvent

[EFB BioEng Division @EFB_EBBS]

Up next @DrLeoRios is creating bio-jetfuel candidates and developing genetic toolkits using a continuous flow system. That's bio produced jet fuel not fuel for biojets #ASBEVI #automation #metabolicengineering #synbio @LeoRiosLab @MBB_Ncl @UniofNewcastle

Congratulations all.

We have been using Golden Gate cloning since the @cidar_lab MoClo toolkit came out; since then, loads of new kits and standards have been published. @JasBird1223 and @andrewgiachino have a new review out surveying the current state of Golden Gate: https://t.co/3jGv4hUw1N

LEC Plant and Crop Science seminar series relaunch today with Dr Patricia Lopez-Calcagno's talk on #photosynthesis @LancsUniLEC
Thanks @JXBot for the support! 🌱🌾

[Maria Ermakova @mary_in_vivo]

Could SBPase overexpression increase C4 photosynthesis? We haven’t found significant effects on CO2 assimilation in Setaria with higher SBPase content at different CO2, irradiance or temperatures. We discuss metabolic differences between C3 and C4 plants that might explain this.

[Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Newcastle @MBB_Ncl]

New paper from one of @MBB_Ncl's newest members, @LopezCalcagno

Very happy of our latest publication from @LeoRiosLab improving the regioselectivity and activity of plant P450s in S. cerevisiae combining #Synbio #biocatalysis #bioprocessengineering approaches.
Great work from @SimplyBehnaz and colleagues! @MBB_Ncl https://t.co/U8KNOAUOTF
