Our new review is out now – well done Ella, Sabina, Nicky and Charlotte – a great collaboration with the @mackinderlab!

From algae to plants: understanding pyrenoid based CO2-concentrating mechanisms. https://t.co/J4wGI7vfGl

[Luke Mackinder @mackinderlab]

Check out this Research Briefing for a quick overview of our work exploring Rubisco condensation by CsLinker, an intrinsically disordered protein from Chlorella. All driven by @james_r_barrett https://t.co/WxJK1mBImD

@botbml @james_r_barrett @Mihris_N @mjplevin @McCormick_Lab @JNB_lab @YorkBioimaging Thanks Ben!

[Luke Mackinder @mackinderlab]

A promiscuous algal Rubisco binding protein that binds to the large subunit, can condense plant Rubiscos and functionally complement an epyc1 mutant. Congrats @james_r_barrett + great team effort @Mihris_N,@mjplevin,@McCormick_Lab,@JNB_lab,@YorkBioimaging. https://t.co/saGLa4Efeh

@JamesPBLloyd @BiologyatYork @OnyouNam @james_r_barrett @ItsCarolineMck @JNB_lab @DemulderManon @bengeliscious @uwanews Thanks James. No plans in the near future to be in Aus but would be very happy giving a seminar if I’m there.

A blueprint of the diatom pyrenoid reveals a Rubisco encapsulating protein Shell is critical for CO2 fixation. Is it essential for global NPP? Congrats to @OnyouNam,@james_r_barrett,@ItsCarolineMck,@JNB_lab + great collab with @DemulderManon,@bengeliscious.https://t.co/gPwPLtylBR

@PlantoPhagy Thanks Yasin, it was a real team effort.

@YorkBioimaging @zeiss_micro @thermofisher @YorkCoEMS @UKTSNetwork @TechsCommit Thanks Pete, it wouldn’t have been possible without the outstanding support and equipment in the York Bioscience Technology Facility!

Diatom PyShells help fix 20% of the Earth's #CO2🌍. Luke, Onyou, & team -- It was a great pleasure collaborating with you on this very exciting project. So much to explore in the diverse world of marine algae!🌊🦠🪸

[Dr Richard Kirby @PlanktonPundit]

Some of the amazing, microscopic algae and animals that float at the sea surface. (From my plankton net tows) It is shocking that this vital world of life is so overlooked by natural history TV programmes. In fact, I'd say it is a dereliction of duty. @zeiss_micro

Evolution of Thylakoid Structural Diversity!🌱🦠🌍

Annemarie's deep dive🤿 into the wide wild world of photosynthetic complexes and thylakoid architecture and is now available open access @AnnualReviews.

She also made beautiful figures🎨. Check it out!

The final version of our PyShell🥧🐚 paper is now online @CellCellPress. Check out how diatoms soak up 20% of the Earth's #CO2!🌏

Brilliant work by @DemulderManon, @Jorgendottir, Ginga, Aki, Giovanni, Genji, Yusuke, and all the rest of our collabs 🤗

[DAO Ousmane @ousmanebahdao]

Our preprint on the interplay between algal CO2 concentrating mechanism and photorespiration is now available.
We have identified LCI20 as a new player in algal photorespiration that delivers amino groups for mitochondrial glycolate metabolism. https://t.co/8CVLuuaPMj

Super excited to share our latest work on the native in-cell organization of the mitochondrial respiratory chain 🥳
Using cryo-electron tomography🔬, we show how the respiratory complexes (and other complexes) are organized inside native mitochondria!

Another major hurdle overcame in plant pyrenoid engineering to enhance CO2 fixation - how to traverse the Rubisco condensate with thylakoid membranes. Congratulations @JonikasLab @McCormick_Lab @JHennacy @NickyJAtkinson

[Martin Jonikas @JonikasLab]

Excited to share our latest preprint!

Meet a fantastic group of researchers working on our project #ECR #PDRA

[Luke Mackinder @mackinderlab]

Great to be part of this multi-disciplinary project. See the insightful thread by @CharlSchaef explaining how we worked across disciplines to predict phase diagrams that we experimentally validated #pyrenoid
