First paper from my PhD is officially out! We uncovered how benthic diatom Nitzschia navis-varingica makes the neurotoxin domoic acid. Grateful to all our collaborators in the @BradMoore_SIO, Todd Michael, @andreweallen, and Mari Yotsu-Yamashita labs! doi.org/10.1128/mbio.0…

The benthic #diatom Nitzschia navis-varingica harbors massive genomes and an expanded domoic acid (dab) gene cluster (>60 kb). Genomics + biochemistry reveal enzyme diversification driving a unique toxin chemotype. @andreweallen @BradMoore_SIO doi.org/10.1128/mbio.0… #enzymology

Move over titin... introducing PKZILLA as the largest protein in life that makes one the largest nonpolymeric compounds in biology, the marine polyether toxin prymnesin. Congrats to @photocyte & @VikShende and rest of team! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share my research on harmful algal blooms (#HABs) and their impact on marine ecosystems!🌊🔬 Thanks for featuring my work @Scripps_Ocean! Check out the video to learn about fieldwork exploring Pseudo-nitzschia HABs. #PhDResearch #MarineScience #ScienceCommunication

Scripps PhD candidate Steffaney Wood (@steffwould) studies harmful algal blooms or HABs, which is when microscopic algae grow in overabundance & produce toxins that pose a threat to marine mammals. Learn more about her fieldwork in Monterey Bay looking at Pseudo-nitzschia HABs.⬇️
