Real-Time Tracking of Intracellular Prenyl Phosphate Pools in the Marine Diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum with a Metabolite Protein-Based Biosensor Metabolite-responsive, protein-based biosensors are powerful tools for monitoring cellular metabolite dynamics in vivo and accelerating strain engineering workflows in microorganisms. In this study, w...

New paper from our group, led by Dr Payal Patwari. We introduced and profiled protein-based #biosensors in #diatoms for tracking #terpenoids precursors building blocks. We also identified steps for optimization, to use them for strain engineering @villumscience.bsky.social

Our article on #isoprenoid metabolism in #phytoplankton is now published in @plantphys.bsky.social.
Co-led by Florian Pruckner and @liukm3.bsky.social, we examine algal metabolic diversity and its role in #aquatic #ecosystems and #biotech applications.

New paper from our team: we show how a #biotech-relevant #diatom reprograms its #isoprenoid metabolism under prolonged nutrient stress. These shifts inform #synbio strategies to boost high-value compound production in microalgae. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... @villumscience.bsky.social
