CRISPRi-microfluidics screening enables genome-scale target identification for high-titer protein production and secretion

Xinyu Yu et al.

Summary: This study developed a CRISPRi-microfluidics screening platform to identify crucial gene targets for enhancing r-protein secretion in Corynebacterium glutamicum. By screening 46,549 single-guide RNAs, unknown targets related to transmembrane transport, amino-acid metabolism, and redox regulation were discovered. These findings were used to construct a hyperproducer for multiple proteins through combinatorial engineering of redox-response transcription factors. The CRISPRi technology and FlAsH-based screening platform used in this study have broad applications for other microbial species and recombinant proteins.

Laboratory evolution reveals general and specific tolerance mechanisms for commodity chemicals

Rebecca M. Lennen et al.

Summary: This study used an automated platform to evolve Escherichia coli to grow optimally in the presence of 11 industrial chemicals and uncovered the tolerance mechanisms. The results showed that cells are tolerized through frequent mutation of membrane transporters, cell wall-associated proteins, transcription and translation machineries, and stress signaling proteins. Osmotic stress plays a significant role in tolerance, and pre-tolerized starting isolates can greatly enhance the subsequent production of chemicals.

Metabolic reprogramming and biosensor-assisted mutagenesis screening for high-level production of L-arginine in Escherichia coli

Shuai Jiang et al.

Summary: This study combined multilevel rational metabolic engineering with biosensor-assisted mutagenesis screening to exploit the L-arginine production potential of Escherichia coli. Multiple metabolic pathways were reprogrammed to redirect the metabolic flux into L-arginine synthesis, and a toggle switch was designed to dynamically control gene expression. A biosensor-assisted high-throughput screening platform was used to further explore L-arginine production potential. Through this approach, the engineered strain produced the highest values of L-arginine reported so far. The study demonstrated the effectiveness of rational metabolic reprogramming and biosensor-assisted mutagenesis screening in unleashing cellular potential for value-added metabolite production.

Machine learning for predicting phenotype from genotype and environment

Tingting Guo et al.

Summary: Predicting phenotype with genomic and environmental information using machine learning methods is challenging but necessary. This review discusses the progress of phenotype prediction models enabled or improved by machine learning. The applications are categorized into scenarios based on genotypic information, environmental information, and both, highlighting the practicality, advantages, and challenges of modeling complex relationships. The potential of leveraging machine learning and genetics theories to develop models that predict phenotype and interpret biological consequences is also discussed.

Genomics and transcriptomics-guided metabolic engineering Corynebacterium glutamicum for L-arginine production

Zhenqiang Zhao et al.

Summary: L-arginine is an important amino acid used in food and pharmaceutical industries. This study investigated the metabolic mechanisms and fermentation conditions affecting L-arginine production.

Promoting lutein production from the novel alga Acutodesmus sp. by melatonin induction

Liyan Zhu et al.

Summary: In this study, a novel microalgae strain Acutodesmus sp. HLGY was isolated and identified. The feasibility of using melatonin (MT) to increase lutein yield of this strain was evaluated. Results showed that under the 7.5 μM MT treatment, the lutein content and lutein productivity were significantly increased, along with the upregulation of key lutein synthesis-and antioxidant enzyme-related genes. Moreover, MT treatment suppressed carbohydrate, protein, ROS levels, and lipid content, while promoting ethylene and gamma-aminobutyric acid contents.
