'The Metabolic State of E. coli Influences Fosfomycin Efficacy and Promotes Resistance Evolution' from ACS Infectious Diseases is an #OpenAccess #ACSEditorsChoice. 📖 Read the article: go.acs.org/dQV

Technically this required metabolomics on ~3,000 samples from an arrayed CRISPRi library. The bottleneck wasn’t MS or sampling. It was sequencing the strains after arraying. Paper: cell.com/cell-systems/f…

Example: Knockdown of ispB increases farnesyl-PP. Add a carotenoid pathway and get more product. 🟠 Metabolite accumulation can reveal engineering targets.

What happens if you knock down every metabolic gene in E. coli? We measured the metabolome of 1515 CRISPRi strains. Result: metabolism behaves like traffic. Block an enzyme and metabolites pile up upstream. 🚗🚗🚗 New paper 🧵

Great collaboration with the @sourjik lab. Check out how isoprenoid biosynthesis, high oxygen and a membrane complex influence E. coli fitness 👇

Our CRISPR screen in E. coli shows that metabolic mutations influence antibiotic action. Pathway-specific bottlenecks cause resistance. Slow growth leads to tolerance. Read more 👉 doi.org/10.1038/s44320…

New paper from our group: we developed intact protein barcoding, which uses small proteins as a barcode to identify CRISPRi strains with mass spectrometry. search.app/Tb7XiPbBoj1rnJ…
