The first major body of work from my PhD is now up on BioRxiv!
We used AI-designed binders to block the uptake of heme from hemoglobin through ChuA, a heme transporter found in pathogenic E. coli. 🦠🩸🔬
I’m very grateful for my supervisors and all coauthors for their support!

🚨 New study alert! 🚨
Our research shows that #sequencing depth & false positives are major drivers of bias in prokaryotic #metagenomics. We tested 3 pipelines and uncovered surprising patterns in #MAGrecovery. 🖥️🧪🦠🔬

Pre-print 🚨 alert! We used AI protein structure prediction to analyze ~10,000 Borg proteins, revealing potential capsid proteins & viral-like features in these massive elements from methane-eating archaea. Could they be the first archaeal giant viruses? Check it out!

Ever wondered if those butane-oxidizing archaea (lnkd.in/d5Gu3rFH) could run their metabolism in reverse? Carbon dioxide to butane? Well, wonder no more: check out our new paper, now live at Nature Communications

@TessFHutchinson thank you for giving an insightful talk on the potential thermal flexibility of trace gas oxidation processes from Antarctic samples.
In light of our warming climate, this work may prove invaluable!

The extreme environments session of #AusME2024 has kicked off! Did you know that caves can breathe? The exchange of gases from the surface occurs in a cyclic fashion which can help support the life of microbes.
@Sean_K_Bay, what an exciting talk!

Dr Kate L. Bowerman from @UQscience presented her findings on the microbiome of Australian marsupials. The bacterial community for each marsupial is significantly varied and is also distinct from that of ruminants.
