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!
