@stanfordenergy Fellow 2024 🌱| (she/her)🇬🇧 Post-doc in the @aburlacot Lab | @carnegiescience 🧬🧪Excited by all things photosynthetic
Carnegie Inst., Stanford
Joined April 2010
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

Algal pyrenoids—condensates that mediate ~1/3 of Earth’s CO2 fixation—change size and number as cells divide. Our data suggest a simple control mechanism: a kinase that continuously ejects material from the condensate! ☀️🌍🔬💧 #Biophysics #Photosynthesis

It has been a while… but an updated, faster & more accurate version of OrthoFinder is now out! Scales to thousands of species on conventional compute resources with higher accuracy than ever before and the same data rich fully phylogenetic outputs 👉 https://t.co/VivnkqSyKs
biorxiv.org
Here, we present a major advance of the OrthoFinder method. This extends OrthoFinder’s high accuracy comparative genomic framework to provide substantially enhanced scalability and accuracy. Specif...

We've found the long-sought 'off-switch' for the algal CO₂-concentrating mechanism (CCM)! It’s a new repressor protein that directly binds to the CCM's 'accelerator'—the master activator CCM1/CIA5—and is essential for cellular energy saving. https://t.co/NYpMDZhSe6

Microalgae induce a CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM) to maintain photosynthesis when dissolved CO2 is limited, but how this energy-intensive system is suppressed when CO2 levels rise has remained...

Glad 🤗to see this great work led by @ousmanebahdao where we dissect the role of LCI20 in dynamic CO2 regimes 🌱🦠 we reveal a key piece in the energetic and carbon interconnection between photochemical reactions, the CCM, and photorespiration ♾👇@carnegiescience @StanfordEnergy
New in Nature Communications: Our study uncovers how green algae coordinate the CO₂-concentrating mechanism and photorespiration during low CO₂ acclimation. This has implications for oceanic carbon cycling. 1/4 https://t.co/iy5oN8z2q9

Oxygenic photosynthesis in streptophytic algae, such as Charophyceae, is often impeded by low CO2 levels in aquatic habitats. Consequently, many algal groups evolved a CO2-concentrating mechanism...
