New paper from our group, led by Dr Payal Patwari. We introduced and profiled protein-based #biosensors in #diatoms for tracking #terpenoids precursors building blocks. We also identified steps for optimization, to use them for strain engineering @villumscience.bsky.social 🔗 doi.org/10.1021/acss...

Our article on #isoprenoid metabolism in #phytoplankton is now published in @plantphys.bsky.social. Co-led by Florian Pruckner and @liukm3.bsky.social, we examine algal metabolic diversity and its role in #aquatic #ecosystems and #biotech applications. Read it here: academic.oup.com/plphys/artic...

New paper from our team: we show how a #biotech-relevant #diatom reprograms its #isoprenoid metabolism under prolonged nutrient stress. These shifts inform #synbio strategies to boost high-value compound production in microalgae. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... @villumscience.bsky.social

Great #postdoc opportunity on a very cool project and awesome team 👇
