JACS Gold - always believe in your … slime! This was the first project we started ⁦Biological Sciences | University of Edinburgh⁩ back in 2017. Thanks to all the project students & postdocs ⁦The Wallace Lab⁩ who valiantly got it over the finish line! Centre for Engineering Biology ⁦JACS Au⁩ pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Check out our paper on slime produced by E. coli, and how we engineered the overproduction of click-able slimes JACS Au. 🦠🧫 This is the first project the Wallace Lab worked on, and was first-authored by our former Research Fellow Jo Sadler, now PI The Sadler Lab.

Always a lovely train journey south. But even more so when it’s en route to my first Microbiology Society conference! Really looking forward to presenting some new ⚗️+🧫 research from The Wallace Lab Centre for Engineering Biology in tomorrow’s “A Green Future” industrial biotechnology session. #microbio23

Fully #aqueous . In #air Broad substrate scope #alkylhalide #crosscoupling Congratulations to Sam Molyneux ⁦University of St Andrews⁩ ⁦St Andrews School of Chemistry⁩ On developing another really useful tool for #GenoChemetics and precision molecular editing pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Really looking forward to visiting CIIMAR-UP and Leão Lab - CIIMAR (U.Porto) later this month to discuss #synbio, #greenchemistry and #sustainability through our work Biological Sciences | University of Edinburgh Centre for Engineering Biology in chemical biotechnology. Also a good opportunity for a micro-Emily Balskus reunion!

Congratulations to Ben and Mariyah from the group. Their fantastic work on a chemo-biocatlytic cascade for irreversible C-C bond formation has been published in ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
