I’m very pleased and stoked to share the main work of my entire PhD and also part of my Master’s! The biosynthesis of one of the most powerful cyanotoxins!! It was an honor to work on such an incredible project with such an amazing team! @BradMoore_SIO @FioreMarli @shaunmckinnie.
Thrilled that our first major research paper is published in @J_A_C_S! Such a fun collaboration with @stella_lima33, @MarliFiore, and @BradMoore_SIO to discover and characterize the biosynthetic genes that produce the organophosphate cyanotoxin guanitoxin.
