Incredibly proud of this paper! - it’s been a long time coming and it wouldn’t have been possible without @shararNow, @cribilla68 and collaborators. Here we report genes for 8-epipseudaminic acid - It was truly like finding a needle in a haystack. Check it out - link in thread👇🏼

Really enjoyed @BacPath in sunny Brisbane ☀️ this year. It was great seeing old friends and meeting some new ones. Well done to all students and EMCRs who presented such fantastic research!
And that’s a wrap on @BacPath 2022! Members of the Totsika and Kenyon groups @QUT_CIIC had an excellent time sharing their research with the community! Looking forward to the next one in NSW 🦠🔬🧬
