#MicroSky: Barcelos et al. explore how biomanufacturing can scale from lab to industry, converting waste carbon into biofuels, biochemicals, and biomaterials. Integrating biology, process engineering, modelling, and economics is key to a sustainable bioeconomy. doi.org/10.1111/1751...
The persistence of P. aeruginosa during chronic infection relies on the serine protease MucD to regulate alginate production. Yong-Gui Gao &co show that MucD can represse alginate biosynthesis post-translationally, in addition to its role in transcriptional regulation 🧪 #MicroSky buff.ly/IYXug6I

This week I presented the same phylogenetic tree to two different audiences. On Tuesday night I talked in a pub about "Microbial Dark Matter" within Brewing Minds, and today I spoke at the scientific meeting of Spanish Society of Microbiology. I only have picture from the pub
