Euglena mutabilis is a photosynthetic fresh-water algae (I know it's actually a protist, but all the literature calls it an algae so that means I can, right?) that has an incredible tolerance for toxic environments. Pictured: CPCC 657🔬

By identifying transcript level changes in E. gracilis as a result of S and N pre-treatment and Cd exposure we enhance our understanding about how these organisms adapt in extreme environments. Look out for part 2 when I publish my own #RNAseq data👀.#algae #nature.

Although Euglena mutabilis exhibited a greater innate tolerance to Cd, efforts to enhance this tolerance using S and N were unsuccessful (actually inhibiting Cd tolerance); however, Euglena gracilis exhibited significant increases in cell counts and transcript level changes!

🚨NEW PAPER ALERT🚨. I am extremely excited to share my colleagues paper in Scientific Reports featuring some of my Masters research I never thought I’d be able to publish! The (unexpected) dichotomy of our results was the springboard for my PhD work.

Nothing more humbling than looking at your writing on tubes and caps. This is prep for phytohormone analysis using mass spectrometry for only 63 samples!

Our study shows that commercial formulations of glyphosate have detrimental effects on phyllospheric Methylobacterium at concentrations as low as 0.05% w/v (500μg/L), a fraction of what is actually applied in practice. Why is this so? It all has to do with the formulations…

This lead us to question the impact of glyphosate on the aerial plant microbiome and ✨spoiler alert✨ it’s not good.

Glyphosate is able to disrupt the shikimate pathway, which is essential for the production of aromatic amino acids. While GMO cash crops are not impacted by the application of glyphosate, surrounding organisms and plants in competition will die from exposure.
