Up to 11 heterologous enzymes in a cascade supporting CO2 fixation & growth! https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.11.12.688011v125 Nov 2025 17:54 +0000at://did:plc:gnddoliqdkfpjoldwcyhcmty/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6hvvpdp4s2shttps://bsky.app/profile/nicoc-micsynmet.bsky.social/post/3m3eupcc7m22mGreat to see our MOSAIC story about an easy, cloning-free efficient protocol for mutating plasmids using recombineering is out now officially and the cover story of ASC Synthetic Biology https://pubs.acs.org/toc/asbcd6/14/10 ! Great shoutout to Marijn van den Brink, Tim Althuis and Christophe Danelon!17 Oct 2025 08:39 +0000at://did:plc:gnddoliqdkfpjoldwcyhcmty/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3eupcc7m22m
