INVITATION We are starting a new round of online community annotathons to populate v4.0 of the MIBiG repository with high-quality data. If you have relevant expertise in natural product genomics or chemistry, please participate! Please register here: forms.gle/LJR9uRTCyLg7Q3…

Natural product biosynthesis is crazy fascinating! "PKZILLA-1 and -2 encode giant protein products of 4.7 and 3.2 MDa with 140 and 99 enzyme domains, exceeding the largest known protein titin and all other known PKS systems."

Cool! Enantiomer separation is now possible by mass spectrometry (in an ion trap): doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

Towards a #circulareconomy ! Here, we show the production of 4 chemicals from different metabolic nodes and highlight the potential of our synthetic methylotrophic E. coli. Thanks to everyone that was evolved!;) It was a great team effort! ETH Zurich nature.com/articles/s4192…

Announcing AlphaFold 3: our state-of-the-art AI model for predicting the structure and interactions of all life’s molecules. 🧬 Here’s how we built it with Isomorphic Labs and what it means for biology. 🧵 dpmd.ai/3URDiNo

Checkout the new version 6 of SIRIUS! ⤵️ This is my favorite software for identifying molecules based on their MS/MS spectra. Can highly recommend!

📯Leibniz-HKI scientist Luzia Gyr is featured in 📰#Zukunftsfragen, issued in Süddeutsche Zeitung and Frankfurter Allgemeine. Find her insights on future health challenges and the search for new antibiotics with #RobotPower! 🤖💪 Read the digital edition now: cmk.faz.net/cms/microsite/… #SZ #FAZ @tmwwdg Universität Jena

We're looking for candidates to apply for a postdoctoral position at CEA Grenoble @SolHyCat starting this Fall!! If you are interested in molecular catalyst synthesis, electrochemical CO2 reduction and surface chemistry, please consider applying! Retweets appreciated!

🏆 Congrats to Prof. Christian Hertweck on receiving the ERC Advanced Grant for #AnoxyGen! His team will decode anaerobic biosynthetic pathways, potentially leading to new biotech, medical, and ecological applications. 🌿💊 #ERCGrant European Research Council (ERC) Balance of the Microverse Universität Jena

We found a way to implant bacteria 🦠 in fungi 🍄and used it to induce artificial endosymbiosis. Read all about it in our newest research paper nature . nature.com/articles/s4158…

My group is recruiting a postdoc to study how environmental interactions shape the virulence of human fungal pathogens. Please RT! #postdocjobs #academicjobs #microbiologyjobs

Leibniz-HKI Balance of the Microverse and ETH Zürich explored how bacteria establish partnerships in fungal cells. They showed that certain bacteria can be implanted into fungi, leading to a endosymbiotic relationship. @unijena ChemBioSys #Endosymbiosis #Microbiology #Biotechnology

Check out the new release of MIBiG version 4, a community-curated database for biosynthetic gene clusters! 🖥️🧬 It was great fun to contribute to this amazing resource! 🌍 mibig.secondarymetabolites.org

Job alert! We have an open technician position in our lab Leibniz-HKI, please spread the word! jobs.hki-jena.de/jobs/Technisch…
