🌿🔬How can we fix #CO2 more efficiently in biological systems? Our new study introduces the CORE cycle, a synthetic pathway that converts CO2 to formate at aerobic conditions and ambient CO2 levels! 🚀🦠 @erblabs @mpi_marburg https://t.co/y1a5Iu36k2

[Beau Dronsella @BDronsella]

Groundbreaking work just dropped🔥.
@AriSatanowski and @marchal_dg engineered new-to-nature CO2 reduction at ambient conditions via ATP-driven cycles for CO2->formate in vivo.
All kinds of fancy experiments in here and a real seminal contribution to the field👏.

[Ari Satanowski @AriSatanowski]

Excited to share a main project from my PhD, out now in @NatureComms! 📝
We've designed and brought to life the “CORE cycle” – a new-to-nature pathway that provides a novel route for biological CO2 capture 🦠🌱

Take a look! Thread below... 🧵

Read the full paper to dive deeper into how the CORE cycle was designed and implemented, and how it expands the scope of biological CO2 fixation and unlocks new paths for carbon assimilation! 🌿🔬#SyntheticBiology #MetabolicEngineering #Photosynthesis #CO2fixation

This pathway could serve as a new entry point for carbon in photorespiration and synthetic autotrophy, opening avenues for improved photosynthesis and innovative carbon fixation strategies!

[Gain4Crops @gain4crops]

New research from GAIN4CROPS compares alternative pathways to photorespiration—a metabolic process that reduces plant efficiency & crop yields.

A key finding: Carbon-fixing pathways like TaCo are the most promising ones.

Paper alert! 🎉
Excited to share this collaboration from my PhD time @wethebarevenlab and @erblabs!
We built a new bridge in central metabolism, connecting acetyl-CoA and pyruvate via a novel, engineered pathway.
For some personal highlights, come along 🧵

[Gain4Crops @gain4crops]

Our partner @marchal_dg (@erblabs) recently defended his PhD on the TaCo pathway—designed to improve yield & resilience—has been a boon to our #HorizonEU goals of boosting rapessed.💪🌼

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

[Daniel Marchal @marchal_dg]

I'm thrilled to announce that I successfully defended my PhD about synthetic photorespiration at the @mpi_marburg 🎉Thank you to my amazing colleagues in the @erblabs and everyone who supported me on this journey. Feeling incredibly grateful and excited for the future. 🎓 #PhDone

[Simone Giaveri @simone_giaveri]

Super excited to share my main research @erblabs, new in @ScienceMagazine, where I engineered a cell-free system that self-regenerates using building blocks autonomously synthesized from CO2! 🧪🫧 Let me tell you more below 👇

Very excited to share my first corresponding & shared first author preprint (together with @clemens_bohm) about developing cell-free extracts from chloroplasts of different plant species for rapid prototyping to accelerate #plantsynbio in the chloroplast: https://t.co/tHVLMztIUb

[Helena Schulz-Mirbach @mirbachh]

Ending 2023 on a high note: our guide for the design and implementation of novel C1 metabolism is out as journal pre-proof in #Metabolic #Engineering @ElsevierConnect ! Many thanks & congrats to @BDronsella @haihe10 @erblabs 🎉.

[Shanshan Luo @Shan2_Luo]

Excited to share our work @erblabs out today in @NatureCatalysis. A new synthetic CO2-fixation cycle, the THETA cycle, is designed, constructed in vitro, and modularly implemented in E. coli. Step by step, we are bringing synthetic CO2 fixation to life. https://t.co/wvdL24ZzYz

[Luca Schulz @schulluc]

Excited to finally share the #cryoEM structure of the iron #nitrogenase complex out today in @NatureSMB.

This thread serves to prime you on some of the amazing biochemistry required to make molecular nitrogen (N2) bioavailable!

🥳 Happy and proud to announce📢 that Director Tobias Erb @erblabs has been awarded the #LeibnizPrize 🏆, the highest German research prize, for his groundbreaking and interdisciplinary work on #synbio pathways and #CO2 fixation! Congratulations Tobi! @dfg_public

[Simone Giaveri @simone_giaveri]

Very excited to share my Metabolic and Genetic Linked in vitro Network (MGLN) that self-integrate in vitro, now on @biorxivpreprint!🥳Great collaboration with @nitinbohra3, @Chrizzly_92, @martine_balling, Nicole, Timo, and Tobi Erb @erblabs @mpi_marburg ! https://t.co/o6XQQqh8wM

[Daniel Marchal @marchal_dg]

New paper out! We used #MachineLearning to streamline the directed evolution of a key carboxylase in #CO2 fixation and provide new enzymes to optimize the #TaCo pathway, a #synbio #photorespiration bypass to improve #photosynthesis @erblabs @mpi_marburg https://t.co/2TpwaBfCGc
