Highly interesting and enthusiasmic contribution by Tilman Weber @vibtrainconf.bsky.social #Microbes25 on latest developments in innovative computational discovery, molecular characterisation and harnessing of novel #antibiotics of bacterial origin #AMR

Kick off of @vibtrainconf.bsky.social #Microbes25 by Kevin Verstrepen @verstrepenlab.bsky.social. Looking forward to another exciting edition of innovative microbe research, and meeting up with friends and colleagues

Heterologous expression and characterization of synthetic polyester-degrading cutinases from Fusarium spp. in Aspergillus niger | Microbiology Spectrum Cutinases are promising enzymes for a spectrum of applications due to their substrate promiscuity toward both natural and synthetic polymers. This makes them strong candidates for the development of s...

Glad to present our identification of novel #polyester-degrading #Fusarium #cutinases and heterologous functional expression in #Aspergillus. Another piece of tenacious work by @Jo-Anne Verschoor and several fantastic colleagues @LeidenBiology @ASMicrobiology

Polyester degradation by soil bacteria: identification of conserved BHETase enzymes in Streptomyces - Communications Biology A comprehensive study on the identification and characterization of PETase-like enzymes in Streptomyces indicates the presence of strain specific variants of a conserved BHET-degrading esterase.

Excited to share that our latest findings on #polyester #degradation by #Streptomyces #BHETase enzyme variants is published in Nature Comunications Biology (@CommsBio). Excellent and tenacious study by @JoVerschoor, with thank you's to all coauthors.
