Great #preprint by Teles et al. (2026) on how genomic position effect does not influence the transgene expression level in the nuclear genome of the #extremophilic red alga #Cyanidioschyzon by validating 38 neutral integration loci through robotic-assisted transformation. #SSBLab
New Preprint from our Lab! Kaian, @GordonWellman using data from RaderLab @UNBC and bioreactor support from @Barbara_C_F, show it doesn’t matter where the gene goes, it’s all the same to Cyanidioscyzon merolae https://t.co/U2qNcyigFQ
Great work by @MLPMasson et al. (2025) on how elevated CO2 (3%) stimulates efficient organic-carbon uptake in the #extremophilic red alga #Galdieria.
Interestingly, G. yellowstonensis 5587.1 was able to eat "chocolate waste" and generate a thermostable C-phycocyanin 🔵. #SSBlab
A desert night painted with science.
This striking artwork was created using a natural blue pigment made by the microalga Galdieria, grown on recycled food-factory waste such as chocolate by-products. The vivid, heat-stable color shows how biotechnology can turn waste into something both beautiful and valuable.
The painting, depicting desert dunes under a night sky, was created by PhD student Mauricio Lopez Portillo Masson (@Mauricio_M) from Prof. @Kylelauersen's Sustainable & Synthetic Biotechnology Lab at KAUST.
This work was led by Mauricio, supported by Assistant Professor @MikeD_Fox, with additional contributions from the @KAUSTCoreLabs and Prof. Peter Lammers at the Arizona Center for Algae Technology and Innovation (@ASU_AzCATI).

Great work by @s_overmans et al. (2025) on developing a novel, in situ extraction method of #algal-derived #terpenoids from engineered #Chlamydomonas by using low-cost, functionalized silica #microparticles (e.g. 2% (v/v) C18) instead of traditional solvent extraction. #SSBlab
Today, we celebrate @s_overmans , who worked tenaciously to get his story out on functionalized microparticles for terpene 🧪 harvest from microbial cultures 🦠. A @KAUST_BESE collaboration with Himanshu Mishra and Adair Gallo Jr:

Amazing #SSBlab work🤯 that shows metabolic engineering in #Chlamydomonas for sustainable #terpene production, and a terpene ‘milking’ #bioprocess coupled to green-chemistry functionalisation to recreate #agarwood sesquiterpenoid mixtures🌳.

My first #preprint on the work done during my research stay at #SSBLab #KAUST is out!
We evaluated several alternative #solvents to alkanes for in situ extraction of #hydrocarbons from the colonial green alga #Botryococcus braunii race B (Showa) cultured in brackish medium ⬇️.
Today we (@tk_ozawa @Barbara_C_F @s_overmans @edloglo) released a @biorxivpreprint Short Report on using #green #solvents for extracellular Botryococcus braunii (algal 🦠) hydrocarbon 🧪 milking.

@m_gorna @UniWarszawski @EMBO_YIP June 2021, the #SSBlab opens. Ribbon 🎀 cutting ✂️ for lab 🧪🔬🧫 openings are the best:)
Lots of activities around the globe over the last few months for the #SSBlab members. @s_overmans is keeping our lab website up to date with these great stories. Check them out here: https://t.co/qTaoNpxvXs
It’s been a busy month for the #SSBlab at KAUST. Students graduating, great meetings, and journal announcements. Thanks to the hard work of @s_overmans our lab website is now updated with a lot of our recent activities. @KaustResearch

Great work by Villegas-Valencia, González-Portela et al. (2023) on the cultivation of the polyextremophilic red alga #Cyanidioschyzon merolae during summer conditions on the coast of the #RedSea 🌊🥵🇸🇦 (e.g. from 400-mL #Algems to 1000-L tubular #photobioreactors). #SSBlab #Algae
In a little while I’ll be picking up our new 6-month visiting student @tk_ozawa ! Time to tour @KaustResearch and see the #SSBlab. Super excited for some Botryococcus work to start here 🦠🧪🔬
Proud to share my First #preprint of my PhD work, We engineered #greenalgae to produce significant titers of volatile isoprene. https://t.co/Fua0o1AWyC This work took us around two years. Would like to thank my supervisor @Kylelauersen and @s_overmans , @GordonWellman #SSBlab.
New #preprint! #PleaseRT. We engineer #greenalgae to produce high titers of volatile isoprene with three genes. A promising route to carbon reuse for commodity products. Razan Yahya,@GordonWellman, @s_overmans #SSBlab #algalbiotech @KaustResearch

Today @olaf_kruse got to experience the UNESCO heritage #albalad neighborhood in old Jeddah. @KaustResearch @CeBiTec @unibielefeld with #SSBlab @Malakabd93 @GordonWellman @Barbara_C_F @SaGutierrezz et al.
Had the pleasure of taking @olaf_kruse on a little snorkeling adventure on the #redsea today. Nice time with the #SSBlab @Barbara_C_F @s_overmans @GordonWellman @CeBiTec @unibielefeld @KaustResearch
Collaboration w/ @EnvMicroSafety group, @Barbara_C_F and @s_overmans show engineered #algae can grow directly in #AnMBR effluent AND make heterologous #isoprenoids. #wastewater #biotechnology #preprints #SSBlab @biorxivpreprint

Today we teach an old gel ‘doc’ new tricks for plate- and gel- level #fluorescent #protein differentiation in #algae. All plasmids deposited at the Chlamy Center. By @SaGutierrezz and @GordonWellman #SSBlab @FrontBioeng https://t.co/39M9XL76H9 #FluorescenceFriday @KaustResearch
@SaGutierrezz representing #SSBlab today @KaustResearch #fallingwalls competition. Great job Sergio ! #algal #Biotechnology #isoprenoids 👏👏👏
This photo is 3 years old today. That’s the day I moved from #bielefeld to @KAUST_News in 2019 to start to #SSBlab. 100% would do it all again!
Interesting work from the #SSBlab about the use of #perfluorocarbon liquids (FCs) as a better 💚 alternative than traditional non-polar solvents (e.g. #dodecane) to extract #terpenoids from #microbes in a similar way to #trichomes in🌱.
#Chlamydomonas #AlgalBiotech #Bioprocess
Our latest research is now available on @ResearchGate. @Kylelauersen and I present a novel method to extract #terpenoids from microbial cultures, using liquid perfluorocarbons. @AlgaSynBio @SynBioAusAsia @Syn_Biology

#SSBlab took Prof. Rader and Dr. Stark (@UNBC) to #AlBalad #Jeddah today. I love visiting this beautiful city. Thanks Carmel Tours #ksa for the great day. With @SaGutierrezz @Barbara_C_F @GordonWellman @KAUST_News
