It’s too late to save these lost young lives in Texas, but not too late to avert the next tragedy that could be fully avoided.
It’s one thing to say you’re making things more efficient and quite another to gut something essential with no replacement.
Turn the f’ing lights back on!

Tell me more about the photolyase? Is that a common mechanism throughout bacteria?

Yes, nearly constantly running. We had a fleet of non-fluorescent epochs and fluorescent synergy machines. We kept buying more as our demand for growth assays/passage of microbial communities and screens was huge. Customer service is good there too - it was a small company for a long time

I liked our fleet of biotek machines (synergy does fluorescence) when I was in KC Huang's lab.

Found a bit more from my Instagram. I'll give myself 5 minutes to see if I can dig up more info.

That is my image! It is Bacillus subtilis 3610 (maybe a mutant, I can't recall). I spotted cells onto biofilm-promoting media. I love the volcano colonies.
