A tale of three regulators: in a new study, we investigated the regulation of glycolate metabolism in the bacterium Paracoccus denitrificans. It is now available as a preprint on bioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… A short thread (1/6)... 🧵

I'm excited to attend the European Congress on Biotechnology in Rotterdam with my group and present our work on enzyme and metabolic engineering! EFB Biotechnology #Biotechnology #ECB2024

Ethylene glycol is widely used as monomer of the plastic PET. It is therefore highly relevant as sustainable feedstock for microbial biotechnology. In our new preprint, we discover and characterize efficient enzymes for ethylene glycol oxidation: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Exciting thread 👇 and study on novel NAD-dependent dehydrogenases for #ethylene_glycol oxidaton, in #Paracoccus_denitrificans. Paving new ways for bioprocesses with #PET as feedstock. Fun collaboration, and tenacious works by minrui with Lennart Schada von Borzyskowski LeidenBiology

Today, the Provincie Provincie Zuid-Holland visited IBL for the transfer of the Dutch Extract Library Library (DEL). This plant extracts collection contains 2240 unique extracts and will continue to be available for companies and academic collaborations. linkedin.com/posts/institut…

It was great to attend the #ECB2024 conference in Rotterdam this week, together with Camillo Iacometti, minrui, and @WoudenbergBFJ. Many thanks to NBV and EFB Biotechnology for organizing this exciting event!

New PhD position in my group! If interested in plant molecular biology, CRISPR, transcriptomics and proteomics studies to understand how different abiotic stresses control plant growth and development then apply for this opportunity. Deadline - 19th of August 2024, see below.👇
