2 more publications out
2 more impressive contributions from EPP.
Check these highly interesting publications from
Enrique Asin García on "Genetic Safeguards and Safety-by-design" https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0167779920301104
and Christos Batianis on CRISPRi for P. putida https://sfamjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1751-7915.13533?af=R.
New EPP publication
Proud to highlight a new publication in the wake of EPP:
Kim, J., Goñi-Moreno, A., Calles, B., and de Lorenzo, V. (2019). Spatial organization of the gene expression hardware in Pseudomonas putida. Environ Microbiol (In Press)
Find the full article here: https://doi.org/10.1111/1462-2920.14544
EPP SOPs
SOPs developed by EPP partners are available on our website. Find them here, with more to come in the next few weeks.
The SOPs cover a wide range of methods including genome engineering, modification of bacterial growth conditions and molecular biology techniques. Specialised methods have been developed such as the use of oxygen gradients to adapt wild-type and the KT2440 strain of P. putida to lower oxygen levels, and performing a batch cultivation of P. putida KT2440 in a lab-scale bio-reactor.
Award Winning Science
Congratulations to our partner Dr. Ian Fotheringham of Ingenza Ltd on receiving the Charles Tennant Memorial Award!
EPP publications in 2019
At this point we would like to feature two EPP-related articles that were published early this year:
- Pham, Nhung et al. "Consistency, Inconsistency, and Ambiguity of Metabolite Names in Biochemical Databases Used for Genome-Scale Metabolic Modelling." Metabolites 9.2 (2019): 28. https://doi.org/10.3390/metabo9020028
- Demming, Rebecca et al. "Asymmetirc Enzymatic Hydration of Unactivated, Aliphatic Alkenes" Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 58 (2019), 173-177. https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.201810005
EPP 8th General Assemby (+RRI workshop)
We are happy to announce EPP's 8th General Assembly meeting and joint workshop on 'Resposible research and innovation' to be held at BASF and in Mannheim, Germany, on April 8-10.
Characterizing the Role of Exoribonucleases in the Control of Microbial Gene Expression: Differential RNA-Seq
Two of our members of EPP from the ITQB - Cecilia M. Arraiano and Vânia Pobre - have just published this technique in Methods in Enzymology, which can be used also for Pseudomonas putida: https://authors.elsevier.com/b/1Y8Bf_1lc7dESG
