🚨📰New paper from the SSB Group, out in Algal Research! @razanzyahya @GordonWellman @s_overmans engineered Chlamydomonas 🦠 to make isoprene - then, used 20 parallel bioreactors 💡🧪 coupled to multi-port headspace analysis (@HidenAnalytical) to optimize it!

Happy to share with you our latest Research Article in „Metabolic Engineering“ about engineering C. reinhardtii for producing (+)-nootkatone under fine-tuned light and carbon regimes. Thanks to Merve Saudhof and all other co-authors! https://t.co/CmL0NEP0eh

Happy to share with you our latest @CeBiTec research on epigenetics and gene silencing in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii published in @TrendsinBiotech . Thanks to Alex Einhaus and co-workers for this great work, which will further boost microalgae biotech. https://t.co/psjYtaeIxy

Scientists just got a genetically modified leaf to make an anti-cancer drug. Yes, a leaf. Yes, a GMO. GM crops can help fight cancer. Maybe it’s time to stop calling them “dangerous.” Science isn’t the villain. It’s the cure. https://t.co/kbi5Koz9DQ

Our International Conference on Algal Biomass, Biofuels & Bioproducts ABBB2025 in Phoenix, Arizona last week was again a great success! It was a pleasure to co-chair this meeting with many high-end science presentations. Thanks again to @ElsevierNews for the organization.

Super proud of the SSB team at #AlgalBBB 🦠 in Phoenix. Great meeting with lots of new ideas & networking. Talks from myself & @Barbara_C_F, @MLPMasson & Melany had posters (+flash talk) & Melany won the Top Poster Award🥇! @KAUST_BESE

Today starts #AlgalBBB! Here in Phoenix and and excited to catch up with the greater algal community over the next three days. @ASU_AzCATI @KAUST_BESE @CeBiTec Chaired by @olaf_kruse & @taraka_dale

The new issue of the @CeBiTec Quarterly is once again packed with interesting articles on all aspects of #biotechnology. Many thanks to all the authors of the current issue.🙏 👉You can find it here: https://t.co/kUvzM8ltyu

In less than two weeks it will be time for #AlgalBBB in Phoenix! Looking forward to seeing all of you there and proud that @ASU_AzCATI will have a tour of its facilities. Happy to represent @KAUST_BESE & the amazing work being done at @ASU. Chairs @olaf_kruse and @taraka_dale

Amazing work by @Alex_Einh et al. (2025) on how employing #CRISPR-mediated combinatorial disruption of #epigenetic factors in the green alga #Chlamydomonas (ΔA51= ΔSRTA, ΔDMC5 + ΔVIG1) improved #transgene expression strength and stability after 3 months. 🔗 https://t.co/kPE3v9FJsA

Happy to share with you our latest paper in Trends in Biotechnology! Congrats to #alexeinhaus and all other coworkers at #CeBiTec. Gene silencing in Chlamydomonas Biotech is no longer a problem!

Pleased to share my very general review of Photosynthesis now published in @NatRevMCB 🌞🌱 https://t.co/8wPAYUKS4a Hopefully a useful primer for Postgrad and undergrad students

Was für eine Geschichte, was für eine Entdeckung! Neben Chloroplasten und Mitochondrien gibt es noch eine dritte Art von Zellorganellen, die aus der Symbiose von zwei Organismen hervorgegangen zu sein scheint: die Nitroplasten, die Stickstoff fixieren.

Thrilled to announce I have been promoted to Associate Professor commencing July 1st. The SSB Lab will continue to innovate in algal biotechnology @KAUST_News @KAUST_BESE https://t.co/1ETqH4JVqP

@janfleischhauer @SZ Wozu soll man auch wissen, dass eine Ministerin, deren Partei Gentechnik ablehnt, einen Verein beauftragt, der Gentechnik ebenso ablehnt, damit er einer ihr unterstellten Behörde ein Gutachten schreibt, warum Gentechnik schlecht ist, woraufhin die Ministerin schreibt, die

📢The new issue of the @CeBiTec -Quarterly is here! This time with articles on "Research prizes for young female scientists👩‍🔬", "EU research projects on sustainable fuels⛽️" and the success of the @iGEM_Bielefeld team. You can find the issue here: https://t.co/16SZUvYlr4

Today, we celebrate @s_overmans , who worked tenaciously to get his story out on functionalized microparticles for terpene 🧪 harvest from microbial cultures 🦠. A @KAUST_BESE collaboration with Himanshu Mishra and Adair Gallo Jr: https://t.co/XYwhadihkw Illustration @HenoHwang

I’m humbled to have been awarded the annual @KAUST_News Distinguished Teaching Award. This is the first time a Faculty from the @KAUST_BESE division has been awarded. It belongs mutually to all the Bioengineering TAs and co-instructors I have worked with over the last 5 years

#Fermentation. Schon verrückt. Da kann man mit gentechnisch optimierten Bakterien Palmöl-Ersatz aus CO2 und Wasserstoff machen. Verwendet man das Öl für Kosmetika, ist das kein Problem, im Gegenteil: wunderbar nachhaltig! Soll es aber in Lebensmittel, ist es dann plötzlich

Congratulations 👍 to @CeBiTec member @olaf_kruse who, together with other scientists, has successfully secured the EU project "SUNPERFORM" for sustainable production of ⛽️from carbon dioxide and 🌞 using microalgae. #chlamydomonas #Biotechnology 👉 https://t.co/OoHijUAjvr
