Newly published in #AppEnvMicro from @realkarlklose.bsky.social lab: inspired by @atinygreencell.bsky.social protein palette, we created the pKEK-Chrom plasmid series (32 plasmids) to enable expression of chromophore-containing proteins (CCPs) in diverse bacterium! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

The Klose lab crushed it at today‘s MMI Symposium: Helen 1st place Masters poster, Janie 1st place undergrad poster, Venus outreach award, and Zack organized the whole thing. The rest of them did great as well, proud P.I. moment.
