Interesting paper in the April 19 2022 issue of EMBO Journal reporting that alpha-glucans and malto-oligosaccharides can be ubiquitinated. May be a mechanism for removing polyglucosan accumulation

Withlab member @spencemacdon sat down with @azom to talk about the discovery of the new biopolymer, acholetin.
AZoM speaks to Dr. Spence Macdonald from @ABOzymes about his discovery of a novel #biopolymer, acholetin, synthesized from a bacterial enzyme: https://t.co/UFBa2d0dd9

I did the same with my Sciex API300 packing case many years ago...but for my son's tree house. He is now 33 and the tree house long gone!
Always chuffed for a fellow facility when they get a grant for new equipment. Even happier still when we get to recycle the shipping boxes in to our new chicken run’s roof! @Astbury_BSL @Bex_16 #fromfalconstochickens #reducereuserecycle #collaborations #corporatecoop
