Optogenetic Control of Heterologous Metabolism in E. coli

TL;DR: This work engineering a version of the T7 RNA polymerase that drives the transition between biomass and product formation upon stimulation with red light is a significant advance for the field and greatly expands on previous work by other groups that have used optogenetic circuits to control heterologous metabolism in prokaryotic hosts.

Rationally optimized generation of integrated Escherichia coli with stable and high yield lycopene biosynthesis from heterologous mevalonate (MVA) and lycopene expression pathways.

TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated Escherichia coli system has been generated successfully, which resulted into stable and high lycopene production, and two modules of mevalonate (MVA) pathway and one module of Lycopene expression pathway were completely integrated in the chromosome.

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.
