🆕New pre-print🆕! Our first foray into 🥩cultivated meat🍖 with @KaplanLab_Tufts Kyong Lee @tuftscellag! We report that microbial lysates can be used as serum alternatives for in vitro animal cell proliferation.

Finally, we show that engineered spores can be used to degrade plastic PET films. #plasticdegradation

🚨🆕New manuscript🆕🚨from the lab! Started by @TrevorBNicks & completed by ToddChappell. This work assesses the utility of >30 spore coat proteins for #surfacedisplay - almost 3x currently described! We found that SscA is a great carrier not used before‼️

We compare coat proteins for surface availability and protection from inactivating agents (e.g., heat, protease), and their effect on sporulation efficiency. We also assess how different coat proteins can be co-utilized to increase display levels.

We found that both, protein + metabolites, in VN lysate are needed to support fast growth. The cells were less stressed on VN lysate when compared to other serum alternatives and could be differentiated after several passages.
