Feb 7, 2022 | Anaerobe labeling, FAST and splitFAST
Strain engineering with FAST is getting a hot topic in the anaerobe community these days. A team led by Dr. Frank Bengelsdorf of Ulm University has just added Acetobacterium woodii to the continuously expanding list of FAST-tagged anaerobes. They indeed just...
Jan 31, 2022 | Anaerobe labeling, FAST and splitFAST
greenFAST and redFAST open the door for multicolor approaches to investigate cell dynamics, gene expression, or protein localization in anaerobes. This is the conclusion of Maximilian Flaiz et al. in this ACS Synth. Biol. 2022 paper. Indeed, researchers of Prof. Dr....
Jan 31, 2022 | FAST and splitFAST, Fluorogens
Prof. Arnaud Gautier continues leading the development of amazing features of FAST and splitFAST. He, and collaborators, indeed just published in Nat. Commun. 2021 a novel “promiscuous” variant, pFAST. Painting with pFAST is the new motto! As a result...
Oct 18, 2021 | Fluorogens, The Twinkle Factory
The patent US 11,162,951 – Membrane-impermeant fluorogenic chromophores for non-permeant FAST fluorogens was just granted by the USPTO. The inventors, Arnaud Gautier, Ludovic Jullien, Chenge Li, and Franck Perez, indeed developed very special fluorogens for...
Sep 13, 2021 | Anaerobe labeling, FAST and splitFAST
First-ever report of FAST in anaerobic Giardia intestinalis! Researchers at Charles University Prague, and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München implemented FAST to overcome the challenge of imaging anoxic protozoa. They hence were able to elucidate the...
