Is there hard evidence that engineering substrate channelling in a multi-step pathway in bacteria improves the process? If this strategy is so good, I am puzzled that there are so few naturally-evolved examples 🤔

Are bacteria enduring these massive interventions happy 🤔? I have always wondered why we have so many stress markers but no happiness markers. Is bacterial happiness just = having no stress … or growing very fast? journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

Back home after a few days in Santander. Visiting Spain and meeting friends and people here always gives me new energy. Thanks again Jorge Barriuso for inviting me to the UIMP #SynBio summer school. Today's talks of Irene Otero-Muras and Angel Goñi-Moreno were very thought provoking!

Pecunia non olet 👇

It's being really fantastic to catch up with so many Pseudomonas friends & colleagues and witnessing that there is a vibrant, growing & inter-generational community active in tackling this awesome family of microorganisms 😍 Great venue & seamless organization #pseudomonas2024

Intriguing & revealing (at least for me!) talk by Nicolas Gómez (HZI Braunschweig, Häussler Group) on the breadth of epigenetic modifications that RNA (beyond those miaA-dependent) goes through for regulating the gene expression flow in P. aeruginosa 😱 #Pseudomonas2024

Happy to announce that the 1st of September I became an Assistant Professor of Biomanufacturing! With this step, I am starting my Tenure Track within the Bioprocess Engineering chair group at Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands. 👨🏻‍🏫🧬🏭

Great talk by Patricia Bernal at #Pseudomonas2024 on #T6SS and stability and firing Microbiology Society

📢We are hiring! We have a 4-year PhD position to offer (Spanish FPI fellowship). If you want to pursue a PhD in #syntheticbiology please contact me. Candidate background is open: can be computational or experimental. Topic: distributed computation & synthetic consortia.

Que peligro 👏!

Interesting & intriguing talk by Prashant Pale IIT Bombay a Pseudomonas strains isolated in India which have a preferential apetite for nasty aromatic compounds over more palatable glucose or organic acids #Pseudomonas2024 A sort of inverted catabolite repression 🤔?

The #Pseudomonas24 Conference has come to an end after a week of amazing science & tons of discussions & ideas for fresh experiments & collaborations in a friendly & pleasant atmosphere. Credit goes to the local & international organizing teams led by the one & only Pablo Iván Nikel @pabnik.bsky.social 👏

Understanding and tackling impact of widespread chemical pollutants is one of the greatest challenges of our times. Our small step towards this. 🙏Anna Lindell StephanKamrad Maier_Lab Dr. Nicole Kleinstreuer Thread below by Indra Roux biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
