Hydrogen has been proposed as a fuel for widespread use since the 1970s, but uptake has repeatedly fallen below projections, primarily due to high costs. This Perspective considers hydrogen’s potentia...

Nature - A technique called LICONN (light-microscopy-based connectomics) allows mapping of brain tissue at synapse level and simultaneous measurement of molecular information, thus enabling...

Metabolic Engineering 16 is the premier conference in the field, offering a unique platform to learn about the latest methodologies and applications, connect with leading experts from industry and aca...

Natural ecosystems efficiently sequester CO2, but containing and controlling living systems remains challenging. Here, the authors engineer a photosynthetic living material for dual CO2 sequestration ...

Diverse microbes utilize redox shuttles to exchange electrons with their environment through mediated extracellular electron transfer (EET), supportin…

Hyperspectral reporter genes allow imaging of ground bacteria from aerial vehicles

Floating photovoltaic (FPV) solar energy offers promise for renewable electricity production that spares land for other societal benefits. FPV deployment may alter greenhouse gas (GHG) production and ...

An engineered one-carbon-fixation pathway increases biomass yields of Cupriavidus necator compared with the Calvin cycle and can support future, sustainable bio-based production.

Biobased polymers provide a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based plastics. In this study, the authors engineered Escherichia coli to biosynthesize poly(ester amide)s with customizable amino acid...

Cells have evolved mechanisms to distribute ~10 billion protein molecules to subcellular compartments where diverse proteins involved in shared functions must assemble. In this study, we demonstrate t...

Here the authors discuss the influence of aquatic microbiomes on the health and economies of human populations and examine how climate changes might impact these dynamics.

The peptide-centric local stability assay (PELSA) can be used to determine ligand-binding targets and binding regions on a proteome-wide scale with high sensitivity.

This work presents optimized experimental protocols for the extraction of >2,000 unique membrane proteins directly from their native membranes into native nanodiscs. Combined with orthogonal struct...

Designed split ferredoxins, fused to protein fragments that associate under certain conditions such as the presence of rapamycin, enable transcriptional and post-translational control over electron tr...

9th World Conference of the International Society for Microbial Electrochemistry and Technology ISMET (September 16 - 19, 2025 Leipzig) and Pre-Conference Workshop (September 15 - 16, 2025 Jena)

This paper concludes that Synechocystis dynamically switches electron sources and utilizes different extracellular transfer pathways for the current output towards the external electron sink, dependi...

Photohydrogen generation in microalgae is catalysed by hydrogenases, which receive electrons from photosystem I via the ferredoxin PETF. The dominant acceptor of photosynthetic electrons is, however, ...
