The PEP group

We have announced three positions in the ERC synergy project CUBE   More info can be found here: jobbnorge.no/en/available-j… For info about cube please visit cube-synergy.eu

New paper out on increasing biomethane production from trickle bed reactors (and first paper from my post-doc)🐛📷 ! Thankful for the opportunity to be a part of this paper and for great collaboration! @BioRef_NMBU @NIBIO_no doi.org/10.1016/j.bior…

We are thrilled to present a new #enzyme to the world, the first shown to break the man-made carbon-silicon bonds in #siloxanes, which are persistent in the environment. caltech.edu/about/news/tea…

Such a huge honour to receive an @ERC_Research Consolidator Grant #ERCCoG to explore the enigma of oxidative lignocellulose degradation in anaerobic environments. Big thanks to everyone who has made this success possible! @UniNMBU @ThePopeLab @EijsinkLab

Plant cell wall glycosyltransferases underpin the complex structure of dietary fibre. In our new work doi.org/10.1111/nph.19…, we show that β-xylosylated xyloglucan arose from the rapidly evolving GT47 family, while a promiscuous GH43 hydrolase permits its digestion in the gut.

Happy to share our latest work on integrating meta-omics data 📊 Excellent work by @val100420 to make this happen in #usegalaxy. Visit doi.org/10.1186/s40793…

Happy to share our latest work on peculiar AA9 LPMOs, for which we reveal several intriguing features 🧐. Congrats to @JLReyre for his first PhD thesis paper 👏! @INRAE_France @IFPENinnovation @PolytechMars @univamu nature.com/articles/s4159…

Thrilled to share that our manuscript on mega-scale folding stability data has been published in @Nature ! Supervised by @grocklin nature.com/articles/s4158… 1/4

Two #postdoc & one #PhD position within Experimental and computational #enzymology on #ERC project CUBE, @UniNMBU , Norway 🇳🇴

👇Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenase Action Increases Fiber Accessibility and Fibrillation by Releasing Tension Stress in Cellulose Fibers | Biomacromolecules pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… A collab @INRAE_BIA @BBF_lab in the frame of @_3BCAR @INRAE_TRANSFORM

📢Calling all CAZymologists! Looking forward to our first GRC meeting in four years: grc.org/carbohydrate-a…. Come connect with amazing people and learn about amazing science! #glycotime @CAZyDB 🍬🦠🌱🔬

Protozoa can be 🔺50% of the microbial biomass in the rumen and have big influence on digestion and H2 production (leading to methane). BUT they are HARD to study, especially in vivo! @andersen__thea adds her PhD piece to the puzzle in @ISMEJournal nature.com/articles/s4139…… 1/6

📢We're thrilled to announce that the next IMS will be held in the stunning Norway🏔️🏂⛷️Stay tuned for more details… #metaproteomics #microbiome #functions

PhD position available in the PEP group at NMBU! A great opportunity to work with green #biotechnology and enzyme discovery 😀 Deadline 11.5. jobbnorge.no/en/available-j…

Don't miss out! Register now to attend the 5th International Metaproteomics Symposium ✏️ims23.com #metaproteomics #microbiome #IMS23

In @Nature today (open access), we report the structural and mechanistic basis of how bacteria harvest energy from air. We reveal a novel enzyme, Huc, consumes atmospheric levels of hydrogen gas and transfers the derived electrons for aerobic respiration. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Check out our most recent paper on how lignin can be used to harvest sunlight and fuel LPMO reactions @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s4146…

We (@BastienBissaro) just published a short review explaining how LPMOs went from being slow monooxygenases to being efficient peroxygenases, harnessing the power of site-specific Fenton chemistry portlandpress.com/essaysbiochem/…

Online now in Early View @FEBSJournal. Three GH enzymes from different families. All can hydrolyse pustulan (B-1,6-glucan), but only one is really any good at it! febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/fe…

Applications OPEN for a great conference! Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes for Glycan Conversions grc.org/carbohydrate-a… Lots of opportunities for talks from grad students and postdocs! Don't forget to apply to the associated GRC as well!
