Researchers have mapped the genes of a remarkable bacterium that consumes carbon dioxide (CO₂) and turns it into useful products. Perhaps they can be used to make #plastic, #medicine and #food while also removing #CO2 from the atmosphere, according to the researchers.

1/ 🚨 New preprint! We've developed a robust IDMS-based LC-MS/MS workflow for high-throughput intracellular metabolomics in diverse bacteria. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
#Metabolomics #MassSpec #SystemsBiology
3/ Biological insight:
• A comparative analysis of E. coli, P. putida, C. necator, B. subtilis, P. thermoglucosidasius
• PCA reveals strain- and condition-specific metabolic fingerprints
• P. thermoglucosidasius shows a lower adenylate energy charge than mesophiles
Now published in Microbial Biotechnology! enviromicro-journals.onlinel…
📢 Preprint alert! In this study we provide new genomic insights into #CupriavidusNecator for #C1Biomanufacturing:
- Genome assemblies for more strains
- Species definition refined
- Traits & methylation systems explored
Great job by @magnus_gj and team

What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too?
And why should we care? A 🧵 on our paper on the Nobel Laureates.
A teaser: the income distribution of the laureates' fathers.1/N

🚨just released! @bioRxiv_synbio preprint where we harness a medium-scale model to guide the design of a suite of metabolic sensor strains for glyoxylate and show some cool applications
A great collaboration w/ @WeTheBarEvenLab and @erblabs
