Most productive and enjoyable sortie to Groningen for visiting @sebwenk.bsky.social, @karin555.bsky.social and catching up with friends and colleagues in @rug.nl Exciting discussions, unusually fantastic weather and great hospitality. What else can one ask for! Thank you 🤩!

Today I had the pleasure of hosting the one and only @vdlorenzo.bsky.social at the University of Groningen (@rug.nl). He gave a thought-provoking lecture on the sub-cellular organisation in P.putida which sparked lively discussions and lasting inspirations. Thank you for the visit Victor 🙏🙏🙏

We are offering a #PhD candidate position (Spanish FPI) to work with us at the @cnb-csic.bsky.social in Madrid. The project you would be part of: establish a #biofoundry at our institution, to optimize #synbio experiments from #design to #test. If interested, get in touch!

Excited to share a main project from my PhD, out now in @naturecomms.bsky.social! 📝 We've designed and brought to life the “CORE cycle” – a new-to-nature pathway that provides a novel route for biological CO2 capture 🦠🌱 nature.com/articles/s41... Take a look! Thread below... 🧵

Really happy to share that our work on constructing six glyoxylate / glycolate sensors covering a three order of magnitude concentration range is out now in Nature Communications ! 🔥 Read below to see how we developed the sensors and what they are good for 🥳. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Computation-aided designs enable developing auxotrophic metabolic sensors for wide-range glyoxylate and glycolate detection - Nature Communications
Auxotrophic metabolic sensors (AMS) are vital for bioengineering but are often time-consuming to develop. Here, the authors present a workflow for designing versatile AMS, demonstrating their use for ...

Hello Bluesky community, transitioning from passive observer to active participant on this platform, I want to quickly introduce myself: I am a synthetic biologist with a passion for enzymes and metabolic pathways that enable microbial growth on CO2/CO2-derived carbon sources.

Some of the 🚫🪞🦠 authors got grants to do exactly this. We've discussed pros & cons of this by now, but the grant text actually is a great example of how blatantly we exaggerate in proposals. In 2019, they propose to create mirror cells within 6 yrs. In 2024, they write such a feat is far away. 1/2

💥💥💥 !!! Please re-post !!! 💥💥💥 Hello Community, We’re excited to announce that we’re moving to Groningen in January 2025 to embark on a new chapter in our research careers. For this, we need a house/flat and we hope to find a nice place with your help.

We developed a brand new #CRISPR toolkit for Cupriavidus necator, a biotechnological platform for CO2 (and derivatives) valorization. The system is based on self-splicing introns and allows us to get mutants within 48h and with efficiencies up to 80% doi.org/10.1101/2024.11.24.625072 [1/n]

My first paper post on BlueSky: today our preprint on an an efficient SIBR-Cas tool for genome editing of my favorite C. necator (bug growing on H2, CO2 and formate came online www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #syntheticbiology #C1

Streamlined and efficient genome editing in Cupriavidus necator H16 using an optimised SIBR-Cas system
Cupriavidus necator H16 is a promising microbial platform strain for CO2 valorisation. While C. necator is amenable to genome editing, existing tools are often inefficient or rely on lengthy protocols...
