Super exciting study linking diet to Colibactin producing bacteria and its impact on CRC. Check out our MOTM highlight on this at cmmc.gnps2.org or x.com/MicrobialCMMC/status/1…

Diets high in meat and low in fiber have been linked with a boost of colibactin-producing E. coli, damaging DNA, and leading to colorectal cancer Could the microbiome drive the current rise in colorectal cancer? loom.ly/q_BJp3I

Happy March! While there’s so much to say about our friendly neighborhood Riboflavin, here we show some highlights. It’s amazing how we can engineer bacteria for commercial production! Check out more at cmmc.gnps2.org

Was great to see this AMAZING talk by Robert Quinn of @Quinn_Labs here at UCSD. This talk included a history of the discovery of amine conjugated bile acids, the enzymology behind them, and their impact on health and disease. Some featured papers in his talk shared below:
