Happy to announce our new paper in @NatureMicrobiol
. We engineered Pseudomonas putida to grow on nylon hydrolysates, thereby unlocking nylon waste as feedstock for biotechnology!

On the hunt! We are having high school students from Aachen in the lab to isolate phages from soil. Fingers crossed we find some 🤞🏻 @SPP2330@cg_bbr97@fz_juelich@dfg_public
We are going viral! Our public outreach project “Going viral 2024” started today! During the next days school kids are learning how to isolate phages from their own soil samples! @dfg_public@fz_juelich@iamphaged@cg_bbr97@FrunzkeLab
💊Antibiotics as antiphage? @KeverLarisssa & colleagues reveal how aminoglycosides, naturally secreted by #Streptomyces, block #phage infection even in the presence of bacterial resistance! A new chemical defense in the microbial war 🔬⚔️ @frunzkelab

Great talk in the frame of our career and industry session from @SamuelKilcher on Engineered Phages as Diagnostics and Therapeutics – a Journey from Basic Science to Industry
See our new preprint by @KeverLarisssa and @ael_hardy:
Mechanisms conferring resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics via drug or target site modifications abolish the antibacterial properties, while the antiviral properties are retained. 🧵

@SPP2330
As result of a public outreach with @SPP2330, engaging with local schools, we here present five novel Streptomyces phages infecting S. griseus, S. olivaceus and S. venezuelae.
May the phage be with you.

This monday I presented my first #PhD poster at @SPP2330 in Berlin! 📚 Thanks for the engaging discussions - they truly fueled my motivation and energy! 💪 #bacterialdefense
Bacteria have quite a bit to offer against viruses!
Our paper on "Streptomyces development is involved in the efficient containment of viral infections" is now out in @microLifeJrnl!

Congratulation to our poster prize winners Susanne Brenzinger @SuBrenz, Lauren Queiss @L_Queiss, Daan van den Berg @DaanFvdBerg and TomLuthe @iamphaged for their outstanding poster presentations. Special thanks to @LysandoAG and @PolyQuantGmbH for sponsoring the poster prizes!
@SPP2330 is ready to go for the “International Symposium: New Concepts in Prokaryotic Virus-host Interactions” starting today at the Harnack-Haus in Berlin!
