Sustainable citric acid production from CO2 in an engineered cyanobacterium (2022)
Journal Article

Citric acid is one of the most widely used organic acids in the world, with applications ranging from acidity regulation in food and beverages to metal chelation in hydrometallurgical processes. Most of its production is currently derived from fermen... Read More about Sustainable citric acid production from CO2 in an engineered cyanobacterium.

Evidence for Electron Transfer from the Bidirectional Hydrogenase to the Photosynthetic Complex I (NDH-1) in the Cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (2022)
Journal Article

The cyanobacterial bidirectional [NiFe]-hydrogenase is a pentameric enzyme. Apart from the small and large hydrogenase subunits (HoxYH) it contains a diaphorase module (HoxEFU) that interacts with NAD(P)+ and ferredoxin. HoxEFU shows strong similarit...

Uptake and transport of B12-conjugated nanoparticles in airway epithelium (2013)
Journal Article

Non-invasive delivery of biotherapeutics, as an attractive alternative to injections, could potentially be achieved through the mucosal surfaces, utilizing nanoscale therapeutic carriers. However, nanoparticles do not readily cross the mucosal barrie... Read More about Uptake and transport of B12-conjugated nanoparticles in airway epithelium.

Nanoparticle transport in epithelial cells: pathway switching through bioconjugation (2013)
Journal Article

The understanding and control of nanoparticle transport into and through cellular compartments is central to biomedical applications of nanotechnology. Here, it is shown that the transport pathway of 50 nm polystyrene nanoparticles decorated with vit...
