*Open position* Are you interested in the fundamental #regulation of #photosynthesis and the role of #flavodiiron proteins? We have an opening for #PhD student/#PostDoc in our group focusing on this topic. See link for more info. Please RT ats.talentadore.com/apply/tutkijat…

Excited to share our work SYBORG out today in Nature Catalysis. 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. nature.com/articles/s4192…

Happy to share our new design of a C1/formaldehyde assimilation pathway out on Nature Communications. Congrats to Tong Wu and all. Thanks to supports from Bar-Even Lab, Philippe Marliere, @SteffenNLindner, and SYBORG! #MetabolicEngineering #SynBio nature.com/articles/s4146…

Great visualization of something terrible, a climate tipping point. This shows how a rainforest can tip into rapid deforestation with longer droughts, as global warming worsens. Similar tipping points can cause changes in ocean currents and ice sheets👇

55 years ago #Today, three men were boldly going where no one had gone before. This is what Earth looked like in the Hasselblad photos taken more or less in the same hours, during the trans-lunar coast.

Truly massive bacteria—one million times the volume of E. coli—live inside the unicornfish. Explore its genome and uncover the secrets behind the gargantuan size of this bacterial behemoth. In @Physorg_com: ow.ly/tOmH50QluEJ Read the full study: ow.ly/4vHN50QluEK

Enrichment methods find perturbed processes in omics, but can we better account for pathway functions? See our update to metabolic function analysis in CellFie, now with protein secretion (critical to cell-cell interactions). Led by Helen Masson authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S10…

What drives microbiome complexity? Can Shannon's entropic measures explain them? Check our new paper in PNAS led by Santa Fe Institute Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Serguei Saavedra with our theoretical model of microbiome community transitions, from guts to marine ecosystems. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Explainable #machinelearning models were developed to understand the effects of 30 different carbon sources on E. coli growth and their mechanisms down to the individual metabolic steps ➡️ embopress.org/doi/full/10.10… #metabolism #metabolicengineering

In our new paper at Cell (Cell), we reveal secrets of how the third form of life, archaea, make energy. We uncover new lineages of hydrogen-using enzymes, both minimal and complex. These help archaea thrive in all sorts of extreme environments. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Last work from the group out of the press in Nature Communications ! Here we looked at baker yeast 🥐🍺 through the single-cell lenses 🔎🦠 We found out genetically identical subpopulations with different behaviours emerging in response to amino acid identity. nature.com/articles/s4146…
