Nanorg Microbial Factories: Light-Driven Renewable Biochemical Synthesis Using Quantum Dot-Bacteria Nanobiohybrids
Yuchen Ding,John R. Bertram,Carrie Eckert,Carrie Eckert,Rajesh Reddy Bommareddy,Rajan Patel,Alex Conradie,Samantha J. Bryan,Prashant Nagpal +8 more
TL;DR: Seven different core-shell quantum dots (QDs), with excitations ranging from ultraviolet to near-infrared energies, couple with targeted enzyme sites in bacteria and catalyze light-induced air-water-CO2 reduction, functioning as nanomicrobial factories powered by light.
The role of the bidirectional hydrogenase in cyanobacteria.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the bidirectional hydrogenase in cyanobacteria primarily functions as a redox regulator for maintaining a proper oxidation/reduction state in the cell.

Development of both type I-B and type II CRISPR/Cas genome editing systems in the cellulolytic bacterium Clostridium thermocellum.
Julie E. Walker,Anthony A. Lanahan,Tianyong Zheng,Tianyong Zheng,Camilo Toruno,Camilo Toruno,Lee R. Lynd,Lee R. Lynd,Jeffrey C. Cameron,Daniel G. Olson,Daniel G. Olson,Carrie Eckert,Carrie Eckert,Carrie Eckert +13 more
TL;DR: By combining the thermophilic CRISpr system (either Type I–B or Type II) with the recombinases, this work developed a new tool that allows for efficient CRISPR editing.

A Genetic Toolbox for Modulating the Expression of Heterologous Genes in the Cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
TL;DR: The results show that the EFE expression level is dramatically enhanced through these synthetic biology tools and is no longer the rate-limiting step for cyanobacterial ethylene production, and the RBS design strategy can serve as useful tools to tune gene expression levels and to identify and mitigate metabolic bottlenecks in cyanobacteria.

Overcoming substrate limitations for improved production of ethylene in E. coli
TL;DR: Targeted modifications in central carbon metabolism, such as overexpression of isocitrate dehydrogenase, and deletion of glutamate synthase or the transcription regulator ArgR, can effectively enhance substrate supply and ethylene productivity.
