Our new preprint 🚨🌱☀️on flourescent biosensing of ATP levels in chloroplasts in vivo shows disequilibrium between proton motive force and ATP levels. We show PGR5 dependent cyclic electron transfer does not augment ATP/NADPH ratios https://t.co/mx6vUNtGZQ

Sheffield #BioFest, was fab! Great to talk with so many folk about phages and hear their insights.Thanks to the Sheffield microbiologists for the company and delicious curry after. Snaps are of Luke Jerram's giant E coli and glass T4, so beautiful, do go and see them if you can!
