Synthetic Carbon fixation just got a boost 🚀: Synthetic Biology outperformed Nature in a Living Bacterium. Check out the new work from @BDronsella @erblabs together with @NicoC_MicSynBio @MIB_WUR #synbio, #formatebioeconomy

Glad to see my main PhD project finally out @NatureMicrobiol nature.com/articles/s4156… We show for the first time that a synthetic and engineered pathway can indeed exceed nature at one-carbon fixation.

Today I’m joining 30+ colleagues in taking an unusual step: calling for a halt to a line of research I was excited about, the long-term effort to build “mirror life”.
We’re sharing our findings in a @ScienceMagazine paper:

Lets talk about #acetyl-CoA! As central molecule in C1 metabolism, the efficiency of its assimilation determines yields. Read below about our Lcm as novel activity in the shortest O2 tolerant route to make pyruvate from acetyl-CoA while fixing #CO2!

New paper from the group developing a cutting edge genome editing tool for Cupriavidus necator! With @enricoorsi, @copa_bio, @dellavallesimo leading the work and including @NicoC_MicSynBio @PabloINik biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Chek below form more info!
Enrico Orsi@enricoorsi
We developed a brand new #CRISPR toolkit for #Cupriavidus #necator, a biotechnological platform for CO2 (and derivatives) valorization. The system is based on self-splicing introns and allows us to get mutants within 48h and with efficiencies up to 80% Check the thread below👇

Great to see this work out, 7 (!) years ago we started trying to make an efficient CRISR genome editing tool for my favorite C1-utilizer C. necator . That was a challenge, but driven by @enricoorsi @dellavallesimo and @copa_bio the puzzled was cracked! SIBR(2.0)-Cas! Check it!

Vandaag zouden duizenden studenten en medewerkers in Utrecht protesteren tegen bezuinigingen op onderwijs en onderzoek. Minder geld betekent minder kansen, minder onderzoek en minder oplossingen. We zeggen: Kabinet, DOE HET NIET! 🟥

🟥 Kabinet, Doe Het Niet! ‼️
🟥 Vandaag zouden we met duizenden demonstreren tegen de desastreuze bezuinigingen 🧑🎓 , meer dan 1 miljard ‼️ Ook zonder die demonstratie laten we ons horen:
🟥 Bezuinigingen op (al het!) onderwijs én onderzoek zal Nederland tot stilstand brengen.

'#Onderzoek redt levens, daar mag niet op bezuinigd worden.' - René Bernards, biomedisch geneticus
Kabinet, stop met onverantwoorde #bezuinigingen op #wetenschap. Bezuinigen op wetenschap is bezuinigen op de toekomst van Nederland.

Excited to share our latest work on developing genetic circuits for temperature regulated antibiotic production. Thanks to @ShrikrishnanS, my colleagues from @Helmholtz_HIPS and @Leibniz_INM, and @LSCLifeMat for the funding.

@flamholz @enricoorsi @WeTheBarEvenLab @erblabs @WoolstonLabNEU @LabNikel We bought one recently and will be installed soon, and bought a similar one years ago (during my PhD) which also has served well for 8 years or so, but no experience yet with this model and gas connection, but with the Neo2 (more extensive version from same brand) that works well

@enricoorsi @WeTheBarEvenLab @NicoC_MicSynBio @erblabs @WoolstonLabNEU @LabNikel Gas controller is working well then? Glad to know it. Know anyone else who has one + gas control?

dear micro twitter -- anyone have experience with biotek H1 plate readers + gas control? positive? making purchases here

Extremely proud of our @igemwageningen student team winning the 'Best Diagnostics Project' the Grand Jamboree in Paris last weekend for their Multiple Sceloris diagnostics project! And they ended in the #Top10 for overgraduate teamsand received 4 nominations and gold medal!
