Replying to @LabNikel
@LabNikel is hiring a #Research #Assistant! Looking for an exciting opportunity to work in a dynamic and innovative environment @DTUBiosustain? Please see the description below and get in touch with @DeMaria_SynBio for inquires #Metabolic #Engineering #SynBio #Biofluorination
Today I was very excited to present my work done at @WeTheBarEvenLab and @LabNikel in @DTUBiosustain in front of #microbiology enthusiasts among several @DTU departments. Thanks to the organizers of the DTU #Microbe #Initiative for such great event!

Finally out. Our study on the amination network is published. In this work, we investigate and engineer the E. coli amine metabolism by employing growth coupled selection in a glutamate auxotroph strain.
Thanks to @SteffenNLindner and all contributors!

Never stop the work!
Finally out! We #evolved a new fructose utilization mode for increasing the oxPPP flux in C. glutamicum. As proof-of-principle, we exploited the extra NADPH generated to increase L-lysine biosynthesis. Great example of ALE for #biotechnology!

It's shocking to think how much we lost in the last year. I've never had the pleasure to work with Dan but we spoke after Arren's demise. In that moment of shared grievance I met a wise and gentle man. You will be missed.
Dear Dan, it’s been an honor to meet you and work with you in the @FutureAgric project. Our ❤️ is with your family & friends @WeTheBarEvenLab @outinsight @ArminKubis @INsrl_eu

Philippe Marlière, one of the most authoritative voices in #xenobiology, and his team have identified a polymerase that exclusively accepts nucleotide Z (2-aminoadenine) in Siphoviridae @ScienceMagazine · Countless opportunities for #SynBio & #engineering

Little update on Arren's tree.
Now it has 2 strong supports and a highly diverse collection of stones to keep it company. His friends and colleagues painted them on the farewell ceremony in Berlin.
@WeTheBarEvenLab
P.S. In the next few days it will start blooming. Stay updated!!
Today @WeTheBarEvenLab planted a cherry blossom tree in memory of Arren. Hopefully it will blossom soon. A place to remember a beautiful and exuberant mind, right outside the lab.❤️💐

Not The Nine O'clock News
I wanted to share because so many of my twits sent me this after my post earlier this week. A brilliant spoof of my interview over the controversy we caused with Life of Brian. Rowan's portrayal of Mervyn Stockwood is absolutely spot on.
Travel restriction? For this #NoScienceSunday together with @enricoorsi we went back home with our taste. #394Tortellini #Bologna #homesick
P.S. What's with this no science Sunday anyway?

Let's move on with this sad year!
We propose a daily-countdown to '21 by sharing our scientific #2020InReview under the invaluable guidance of Arren. For a better 2021!

Day1: synthetic glycerol assimilation pathway by @SteffenNLindner & co

This year was a real bummer, more or less for anyone.
One of the few happy events @WeTheBarEvenLab was publishing the first reported E. coli strain growing on Formate+CO2 using the Reductive Glycine Pathway. #DreamsComeTrue #LookAtTheBrightSide
nature.com/articles/s41589-0…
The Reductive Glycine Pathway, a synthetic pathway for efficient CO2 fixation, has been found in Desulfovibrio as the endogenous pathway that allows autotrophy.
Probably the first pathway that has been engineered before being discovered in Nature.
Congrats from @WeTheBarEvenLab
And.. Desulfovibrio desulfuricans can grow autotrophically via the reductive glycine pathway, now the 7th CO2 fixation pathway! Physiological, genomic, transcriptomic and metabolomics data shown in @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

We are moved by the heartwarming reactions coming from all over the globe. We have opened a condolence book where you may share memories and thoughts with his close friends, family, our group and the scientific community: bit.ly/condolences-arren
Only such a special person could leave such hole behind
Today my big sis earned the title of Doctorat of Mathematics. The first PhD in the family, now it's my turn. #Proud #FamilyBusiness #LookingAhead
