Check out our latest work, just posted on @biorxiv_micrbio. We studied the early steps of the biosynthesis of the anticancer antibiotic pleurotin using a combination of stable isotope feeding, genome sequencing, transcriptomics and heterologous gene expression. 🍄🧬💊

I saw this on LinkedIn and thought it was a handy guide for people like me who have trouble remembering the antibiotic compendium (credit: Atul Kumar).

• Do what interests you the most. • Spend time with nature. • Ask questions. • Never stop learning. • Don't pay attention to what others think of you. • Read everyday. • Study hard. • Teach others what you know. • Make mistakes and learn. • It's Okay to not know things!

Diver Kendall Roberg built a rig with marker caps attached to his GoPro to show how colors change as you go deeper underwater, because water selectively scatters and absorbs certain wavelengths of visible light [video: buff.ly/2SdfUq5] [more: buff.ly/2n7iODf]

Do you weigh out compounds to make buffers/media? 🧑‍🔬 I made a tool to help you, and me. Mixology interconverts all sorts of units. It will tell you what mass / volume you need for a certain molarity, without looking up a molecular weight. Have a play: mixology.theo.io

Cam Gilchrist just made a cool short video showcasing the manuverability of the clinker visualisation output. Gene cluster comparison and the figure making made easy and fun! github.com/gamcil/clinker Enjoy! And let us know any feedback 😃

What does a mask do? Blocks respiratory droplets coming from your mouth and throat. Two simple demos: First, I sneezed, sang, talked & coughed toward an agar culture plate with or without a mask. Bacteria colonies show where droplets landed. A mask blocks virtually all of them.

I've been thinking... #naturalproduct #biosynthesis (& many other) figures are begging to be shown in action, so I made a totally fake, yet plausible, NRPS biosynthesis of "fakeomycin" feat. a Cy domain. I want more GIF figures in my life! #chemdraw #chemtwitter #scienceanimation
