Exciting news! Our work on the production of multiple neuromodulatory molecules by an enzyme from a gut commensal Bacteroides fragilis is now online! Fantastic effort by a PhD student Pavani Dadi! And thanks to our collaborator @ShrivastavaLab !.

The first graduate (MS) student from the lab defended today! A very big milestone for Madison and our lab🙂 When Madison reached out to me first, she had never set a foot in a research lab, and here she is today with a fantastic defense and two submitted manuscripts! #proudPI

We are attending #DiscoverBMB in San Antonio this year! Excited for two poster presentations, one 3 minute talk, and one spotlight talk from the lab! If anyone is interested in chatting about enzymes and gut microbes or just catching up then let's meet!

Here, we identified a gut microbial enzyme that can synthesize multiple neuromodulatory molecules. We show that glutamate decarboxylase from B. fragilis is able to produce taurine, hypotaurine, homotaurine and beta-alanine in addition to GABA!.

Very excited to get this study out from our lab with @Pavani60424325 and a collaborator @ShrivastavaLab ! It started during pandemic and has been growing slowly and steadily into this interesting manuscript!.

On a manuscript quest that went from draft 20 to 20a, then 20b, then 20c. Happily changed that to a draft 'close to final 1' last week, which got converted to close to final 1a, then 1b, then 1c 😐 tonight that changes to 'close to final 2'! Is there an end to this craziness? 🫣.
