Thanks for the laugh.

Do you use the NPN uptake assay to measure OM disruption? We think this new biosensor assay is a great alternative, much easier and many other advantages. We used it here as a high throughput method to discover antimicrobials that cause OM damage. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…

I'd like to know how the Viome Cancer Detection test works. Interesting that they have consent to do sequencing on 600,000 patient samples. "Viome has the world’s largest database of human and microbial gene expression from saliva, blood and stool samples"

Biosensors using outer membrane damage-responsive promoters are useful tools for discovering antimicrobials that specifically disrupt the outer membrane. Shawn Lewenza journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…

So this is the guy who allegedly ran a secret biolab in 🇺🇸, eh? 🤔 nypost.com/2023/11/16/new…

It was a long time coming, but our work on constructing biosensors to monitor naphthenic acids in oil sands tailings ponds is now out as preprint.

Non-lactic acid producing S mutant in this probiotic to "cure" cavities. I'm curious what the microbiome folks think of this concept/product?

What is the most amazing biological process in the human body?

I don’t think the Listerine company will like these results: daily use of Listerine leads to higher abundance of dental pathogens.

Genius cover.

I love it when humans push the boundaries further and further, breaking world records, going beyond what we thought was possible, living to our maximum potential. And the bittersweet reality of moving forward in so many areas, and yet still plagued by war and violence.

Every 6 seconds, someone dies from an antibiotic-resistant infection. Today, on day 242 of the year, over 3.2 million people have already been lost to #AMR. That's the equivalent of 85 plane crashes per day every day. Everybody should be talking about this.

Biosensors can and should be used in environmental monitoring for many reasons. Here is the publication describing our naphthenic acids detecting biosensors for oil sands and bioremediation related applications. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Hey microbiology gene expression folks, do you know if a Pseudomonas sigma 70 promoter will be expressed in E. coli? I've read that Pseudomonas is a good host for E. coli promoters, what about the opposite scenario?

I will apologize for the gene edited baby experiment, only if their parents have requested it. However, they are happy with the results now.

Want to learn about polio vaccines and how great they work, with some risk, read this thread. The choice is clear.

I can’t believe this needs to be said. TransGENIC mice are not TransGENDER mice
