📢 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 @magnusgj.bsky.social and team

Good news everyone! (I'd need more good news these days) I'm happy to share here our latest contribution in COBIOT on advances in engineering substrate scope in Pseudomonas cell factories. Great collaboration with @stefanodonati.bsky.social and Miguel Silva! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Advances in engineering substrate scope of Pseudomonas cell factories
Most current industrial bioprocesses use well-established model microorganisms and simple sugar substrates from edible starch or molasses. To broaden …

📣 Exciting news!

The Novo Nordisk Foundation will continue to support an excellence center for #biotechnology at #DTU, building on the legacy of DTU Biosustain over the past 14 years. Grateful to have been part of this!

Now an even BRIGHTer future ahead 🌟

We recently published an article, where we through genetic engineering and CRISPRi enable synthetic anaerobic and aerobic physiology in one bioreactor. Two fermentations in one go. Give it a read.

Judging on the number of followers I got without posting almost anything 😅 I assume a large part of the scientific community is actually moving here! Genuinely curious whether this science-twitter 2.0 will work out

In our most recent perspective, we argue that we need to bridge more effectively knowledge on C1-trophy obtained in synthetic and natural organisms, and that this approach will enable the engineering of efficient microbes for C1-based biomanufacturing www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Synergistic investigation of natural and synthetic C1-trophic microorganisms to foster a circular ca...
Using one carbon (C1) molecules as primary feedstock for bioproduction holds great potential for a circular and carbon neutral economy. Here, the authors discuss the potential of merging knowledge gai...
