There is a press release for the work of Falk Hillmann and colleagues engineering Dictyostelium to produce cannabinoid precursors and other polyketides. https://t.co/5J4JrdZztn
Jeff was a pioneer of molecular genetics in Dictyostelium and a friend and mentor to many. He will be greatly missed.
A fuller appreciation is planned at a later date.
