Synopsis

In the second episode of Season 2, Alexa Cohn and Jonathan Sogin take us through two new papers detailing a novel operon structure and antibiotic resistance mechanism. For molecular and non-molecular biologists alike, this episode is sure to bring out the science in Food Science. But, it’s not all about science - Alexa tries painting and Jonathan attempts karate; they definitely won’t be quitting their day jobs anytime soon. Papers:Saenz-Lahoya, S., Bitarte, N., Garcia, B., Burgui, S., Vergara-Irigaray, M, Valle, J., Solano, C., Toledo-Arana, A., & Lasa, I (2019).
