Dissecting Bioelectrical Networks in Photosynthetic Membranes with Electrochemistry
Photosynthetic membranes contain complex networks of redox proteins and molecules, which direct electrons along various energy-to-chemical interconversion reactions important for sustaining life on Ea...

Our latest paper is out now in @jacs.acspublications.org . In this study we tried to push the limits of #electrochemistry beyond proteins, to studying entire pathways of biological electron transfer ⚡️🦠. Here's a summary 🧵 (1/10)

Iron reduction under oxic conditions by Microbacterium deferre sp. nov. A1-JKT - Nature Communications
In this study, the authors show that Microbacterium deferre A1-JK, a newly isolated Gram-positive bacterium, simultaneously reduces oxygen and iron under oxic conditions, revealing unexpected microbia...

Was great to be part of this study headed up by @scaralbi.bsky.social. We are very excited by the finding that chromosomal polyploidy could be an important driver in the #evolution of #cyanobacteria and other prokaryotes. 🧬🦠
A paper published in @currentbiology.bsky.social by @scaralbi.bsky.social and colleagues in the Howe Group adds significantly to our understanding of bacterial evolution by showing how #cyanobacteria can rapidly develop resistance to a #herbicide. Read more: www.bioc.cam.ac.uk/news/howe-gr...

Thanks to @cenmag.bsky.social for this great article about our efforts to create music with algae 🎶🦠
University of Cambridge biochemist Joshua Lawrence and a multidisciplinary team have worked out how to make music from the electrical signals emitted by the cyanobacteria, also known as microalgae, Synechocystis. cen.acs.org/education/sc... #chemsky🧪 #biosky

Here's something a little different to our usual research for my inaugral Bluesky Post. In our new perspective out now in Applied Phycology, we describe how you can use the electrical signals of algae to generate music 🦠⚡️🎵. 🧵1/12

Algal biomusic generation
Technologies which can generate music with limited human intervention are a longstanding area of investigation for musicians and musicologists, with particular interest in how these technologies ca...
