CRISPR interference-guided multiplex repression of endogenous competing pathway genes for redirecting metabolic flux in Escherichia coli

TL;DR: The tunable CRISPRi system is demonstrated to be a robust platform for multiplex modulation of endogenous gene expression that can be used to enhance biosynthetic pathway productivity, with n-butanol as the test case.

Efficacy of limonene nano coatings on post-harvest shelf life of strawberries

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed and characterized alginate and limonene liposomes as edible coating materials and to determine their efficacy in shelf life extension and maintaining quality parameters of ‘Chandler’ strawberries.
Journal ArticleDOI

A synthetic biochemistry system for the in vitro production of isoprene from glycolysis intermediates

TL;DR: By inserting the isoprene pathway into previously developed glycolysis modules it may be possible to produce isopane and other acetyl‐CoA derived isoprenoids from glucose in vitro.

Acute Limonene Toxicity in Escherichia coli Is Caused by Limonene Hydroperoxide and Alleviated by a Point Mutation in Alkyl Hydroperoxidase AhpC

TL;DR: This study characterized a limonene-tolerant strain of Escherichia coli and found a mutation in ahpC, encoding alkyl hydroperoxidase, which alleviatedLimonene toxicity, and showed that the degree of lim onene toxicity is a function of its oxidation level and that nonoxidized limonenes has relatively little toxicity to wild-type E. coli cells.

Studies on transformation of Escherichia coli with plasmids

TL;DR: Competition with both transforming and non-transforming plasmids indicates that each cell is capable of taking up many DNA molecules, and that the establishment of a transformation event is neither helped nor hindered significantly by the presence of multiple plasmid molecules.

Production of the antimalarial drug precursor artemisinic acid in engineered yeast

TL;DR: The engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to produce high titres (up to 100 mg l-1) of artemisinic acid using an engineered mevalonate pathway, amorphadiene synthase, and a novel cytochrome P450 monooxygenase from A. annua that performs a three-step oxidation of amorpha-4,11-diene to art Artemisinic acid.

Analysis of gene control signals by DNA fusion and cloning in Escherichia coli

TL;DR: Plasmid cloning vectors that enable insertion of DNA fragments between the inducible ara (arabinose) promoter and the lac (lactose) structural genes have been constructed and used for the detection and analysis of signals that control gene transcription.

Engineering a mevalonate pathway in Escherichia coli for production of terpenoids

TL;DR: The strains developed in this study can serve as platform hosts for the production of any terpenoid compound for which a terpene synthase gene is available, and are the universal precursors to all isoprenoids.
