Two solutions for efficient light-harvesting in phototrophic Gemmatimonadota | mSystems The photoheterotrophic species of the phylum Gemmatimonadota employ unique photosynthetic complexes with two concentric antenna rings around a central reaction center. In contrast to other phototrophi...

A satisfying end to a challenging project.

My great colleague and buddy Cristian Villena Alemany is looking for a post-doc in aquatic microbial ecology. It's a super opportunity for anyone interested.

Every single thing about that picture is class-less and tacky.

In 1998, Avtek declared bankruptcy without the 400A having completed the testing required for FAA certification. This single prototype has been sitting on the Camarillo (CMA) ramp for quite some time (October 2024).

Fixed!

Dialysis tubing a a large two litre beaker containing detergent buffer, The dialysis tubing contains a purple coloured liquid that is the RC-LH1 complex from Sediminicoccus rubea, a bacterium first isolated from Iceland. The purple coloured carotenoid will be isolated from this complex and the carotenoid structure determined by NMR.

Dialysing sucrose out of the Sediminicoccus rosea RC-LH1 complex, before concentrating and extracting the novel purple carotenoid. Its structure will be determined by NMR and fitted into the RC-LH1 cryo-EM contour density.
