Respiratory chain plays a pivotal role in the energy and redox balance of aerobic bacteria.
By engineering respiration, it is possible to alter the efficiency of energy generation and …

Zymomonas mobilis is regarded as a potential chassis for the production of platform
chemicals. Genome editing using the CRISPR-Cas system could meet the need for gene …

Abstract Background Acetoin (3-hydroxy-2-butanone), the precursor of biofuel 2, 3-
butanediol, is an important bio-based platform chemical with wide applications. Fermenting …

CRISPR-Cas systems provide bacteria and archaea with adaptive immunity against mobile
genetic elements (MGEs) through uptake of invader-derived spacers. De novo adaptation …

New CRISPR-based genome editing technologies are developed to continually drive
advances in life sciences, which, however, are predominantly derived from systems of Type …

Abstract Background Production of 2, 3-butanediol from renewable resources is a promising
measure to decrease the consumption of fossil resources in the chemical industry. One of …

High-temperature fermentation using thermophilic microorganisms may provide cost-
effective processes for the industrial production of fuels and chemicals, due to decreased …

Pelleting of lignocellulosic biomass to improve its transportation, storage and handling
impacts subsequent processing and conversion. This work reports the role of high moisture …

Zymomonas mobilis is a model ethanologenic bacterium for diverse biochemical production.
Rich medium (RM) is a complex medium that is routinely used to cultivate Z. mobilis, which …

A promoter plays a crucial role in controlling the expression of the target gene in cells, thus
being one of the key biological parts for synthetic biology practices. Although significant …
