My 8-yr old enjoys escape rooms. For his b-day, I designed a jurassic park escape, sparking the idea of using this concept for teaching. This led to "Mission Mars", an escape where our students solved microbial challenges for survival on Mars. Learning is fun 😀. @MIB_WUR @WUR

Check out our recent work on the metabolism of C. autoethanogenum. Ethanol is not just a product, it can act as a substrate too!
Diender at al reveal the dynamic nature of carboxydotrophic acetogenesis in Clostridium 🧫. Ethanol , once seen as an end product, emerges as a crucial intermediate & co-substrate, optimizing growth in varying CO conditions.  ➡️ ami-journals.onlinelibrary.w…
