With growing evidence that carbon utilization is an Achilles heel for many pathogens, @maddytong led a genome-scale look at the growth of E. coli in 30 carbon sources. Shout out to the Karp Lab and the new metabolic modelling capabilities of @BioCyc.

Bacterial responses to stressors offer insight into their complicated biology. A @NatureProtocols paper led by Dr. Shawn French describes a detailed, step-by-step methodology for any lab across the globe to produce & program their own PFIboxes. https://t.co/bQhxlDNh8i

Energized by the progress and ideas presented at the Brown Lab retreat. Fun to have Jon Stokes back as a guest.
