#MicroSky: Machine learning meets microbiome science: optimized amino acid formulations for Bifidobacterium longum reduced nutrient inputs by up to 77% while maintaining growth. Kaneco et al reveal key amino acids shaping fitness and enables streamlined media design. doi.org/10.1111/1751...
#MicroSky: Science conversations are evolving. By analysing interactions on X and BlueSky, Bernal et al highlight the microbiology and biotechnology topics our community cares about most: from precision medicine to synthetic biology and sustainability. doi.org/10.1111/1751...
#MicroSky: Better Biosensors: Engineering Geobacter biofilms via cGAMP signaling enhances electron transfer, creating thinner, more conductive films. Result: a 20× improvement in Cd(II) detection sensitivity, hence advancing bioenergy and biosensing tech. By Zhang , Han et al doi.org/10.1111/1751...
#MicroSky: GREEN CHEMISTRY: Succinic acid is key for sustainable green chemistry, but cost & sustainability challenges limit scale-up. Gunkel and Blombach explore next-generation feedstocks, low-pH fermentations & novel yeasts to advance competitive succinic acid production. doi.org/10.1111/1751...
#MicroSky: Engineering Better Fucosylation with Enzyme Design. MBT ( doi.org/10.1111/1751...) presents a study led by Patricie Vodičková, that boosts transfucosylation >20× via a single mutation (S237V), enabling precise synthesis of fucosyllactose derivatives for biosensors and diagnostics.
#MicroSky: A greener future for bioplastics: near-solvent-free recovery of microbial PHAs directly from wet biomass using insect-derived enzymes. High polymer recovery & material quality, & up to 7× lower carbon footprint without drying or toxic solvents. Read Bogojevic et al doi.org/10.1111/1751...
#MicroSky: Park et al present ways for fighting antibiotic resistance by targeting bacterial persisters. bymBDZ accelerates persister regrowth & increases antibiotic susceptibility in E. coli, boosting killing during early recovery. A promising strategy to prevent relapse. doi.org/10.1111/1751...
#MicroSky: Adapting Bacteria for Better Bioremediation. Evolving Dehalobacter on mixed substrates boosts 1,1-DCA dechlorination. Key mutations in TmrA enhance binding to xenobiotic pollutants, a new path to engineer more efficient cleanup microbes. Read Ren et al doi.org/10.1111/1751...
#MicroSky: Wastewater: Prototheca, rare pathogenic microalgae, are widespread in wastewater (78% samples). Treatment cuts levels by up to 99.9%, yet detectable cells remain, highlighting WWTPs as potential release routes & the need for routine monitoring + safety guidelines. doi.org/10.1111/1751...
