This Week in the Lab

This week’s lab activities are summarized in 1 article below:

New publication: Window-integrated photobioreactors for green building retrofitting - A proof-of-concept showing how living systems can be embedded into standard window infrastructure.

This week, 2 papers referenced our work, a welcome reminder that our contributions remain relevant to the field:

“Navigating complexity: key considerations for studying fungal-bacterial interactions” - Gaëtan Martin et al. (mSystems) - citing our “Microbial markets: socio-economic perspective in studying microbial communities”
”NPF2 is involved in intracellular pH regulation and ion balance in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum” - Anna Santin et al. (New Phytologist) - citing our “Impaired photoprotection in Phaeodactylum tricornutum KEA3 mutants reveals the proton regulatory circuit of diatoms light acclimation”
