The capability to genetically manipulate this strain would facilitate understanding its metabolism and enhancing its sustainable agriculture applications. In this study, we report the first successful implementation of high-efficiency CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing in <i>B. velezensis</i> FZB42, enabling targeted genetic modifications to gain insights into its plant growth-promotion and biocontrol properties. Deletion of the <i>slrR</i> gene, a key regulator of biofilm formation, resulted in significant alterations in biofilm structure and development, as demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy and quantitative biofilm assays. These findings provide valuable insights into the mechanisms of biofilm formation, which are critical for root colonization and plant growth promotion. Additionally, we overexpressed the <i>bac</i> gene cluster responsible for bacilysin biosynthesis by replacing its native promoter with the strong constitutive promoter P43 and integrating an additional copy of the <i>bacG</i> gene. This genetic manipulation led to a 2.7-fold increase in <i>bacB</i> gene expression and significantly enhanced antibacterial activity against <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Lactobacillus diolivorans</i>. The successful implementation of the CRISPR-Cas9 system for genome editing in FZB42 provides a valuable tool for genetic engineering, with the potential to improve its biocontrol efficacy and broaden its applications in agriculture and other biotechnology areas. Our principles and procedures are broadly applicable to other agriculturally significant microorganisms.","PeriodicalId":9168,"journal":{"name":"Biotechnology and Bioengineering","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143050932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the high conservation of Mpt64 and Ag85B in human and bovine MTB strains, our detection system can be used to identify MTB in both humans and bovine. These results demonstrate the sensor's high sensitivity for quantifying MTB particles, enabling rapid identification of infected individuals or bovine.

While single perturbations have been studied for several organisms and substrates, the impact of recurring short-term perturbations remains largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the response of <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> to repetitive gradients of four different sugars: glucose, fructose, sucrose, and maltose. Due to different transport mechanisms and metabolic routes, nonglucose sugars lead to varied intracellular responses. To characterize the impact of the carbon sources and the dynamic substrate gradients, we applied both steady-state and dynamic cultivation conditions, comparing the physiology, intracellular metabolome, and proteome. For maltose, the repeated concentration gradients led to a significant decrease in biomass yield. Under glucose, fructose, and sucrose conditions, <i>S. cerevisiae</i> maintained the biomass yield observed under steady-state conditions. Although the physiology was very similar across the different sugars, the intracellular metabolome and proteome were clearly differentiated. Notably, the concentration of upper glycolytic enzymes decreased for glucose and maltose (up to −60% and −40%, respectively), while an increase was observed for sucrose and fructose when exposed to gradients. Nevertheless, for all sugar gradient conditions, a stable energy charge was maintained, ranging between 0.78 and 0.89. This response to maltose is particularly distinct compared to previous single-substrate pulse experiments or limitation to excess shifts, which led to maltose-accelerated death in earlier studies. At the same time, enzymes of lower glycolysis were elevated. Interestingly, common stress-related proteins (GO term: cellular response to oxidative stress) decreased during dynamic conditions.","PeriodicalId":9168,"journal":{"name":"Biotechnology and Bioengineering","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143044275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the increasing demand in medical research and agricultural markets, more and more application scenarios require gene edited pigs to possess two or even more advantageous phenotypes simultaneously. The current production of multi gene edited pigs is inefficient, time-consuming, and costly, and there is an urgent need to develop efficient and accurate multi gene editing application technologies. The polycistronic tRNA-gRNA-processing system (PTG), developed based on endogenous tRNA self-processing systems, has been shown to exhibit efficient multi gene editing in plants. This study aims to combine a PTG strategy with multiple gRNA production functions with an adenine base editor (ABE) to test its feasibility for efficient and precise multi gene base editing in pig cells. The results indicate that the PTG based integrated ABE plasmid can perform efficient base editing at multiple gene loci in pig cells. And while the gene editing efficiency was significantly improved, no indel and sgRNA dependent off target effects caused by DSB were detected. This work permit will provide a solid foundation for the production of multi gene edited pigs with agricultural and medical applications.","PeriodicalId":9168,"journal":{"name":"Biotechnology and Bioengineering","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143020979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, data pre‐processing methods were first evaluated through cross‐validation, where the first‐order derivative emerged as the most effective method to diminish variability in prediction accuracy across different training datasets. Subsequently, a segmented adaptive partial least squares (SA‐PLS) model was developed, and its accuracy and universality were demonstrated through several validation studies using different clones and culture processes. Furthermore, a real‐time viable cell density (VCD) auto‐control system in perfusion culture was established, where the VCD was maintained around the target with notable precision and robustness.

Parametric unstructured models based on biological mechanisms are highly promising, since they do not require large amounts of data. The critical part in the application is the certainty of the parameter estimates, since uncertainty of the parameter estimates propagates to model predictions and can increase the risk associated with those predictions. Currently Fisher‐Information‐Matrix based approximations or Monte‐Carlo approaches are used to estimate parameter confidence intervals and regularization approaches to decrease parameter uncertainty. Here we apply profile likelihood to determine parameter identifiability of a recent upstream process model. We have investigated the effect of data amount on identifiability and found out that addition of data reduces non‐identifiability. The likelihood profiles of nonidentifiable parameters were then used to uncover structural model changes. These changes effectively alleviate the remaining non‐identifiabilities except for a single parameter out of 21 total parameters. We present the first application of profile likelihood to a complete upstream process model. Profile likelihood is a highly suitable method to determine parameter confidence intervals in upstream process models and provides reliable estimates even with nonlinear models and limited data.","PeriodicalId":9168,"journal":{"name":"Biotechnology and Bioengineering","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142989317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the current trend in biotechnology shifting toward process intensification and integration, developing intensified processes such as continuous production is crucial to hold this platform as a suitable alternative to others. However, the implementation of continuous production has been hindered by the lytic nature of this expression system and the process‐detrimental virus passage effect. In this study, we implemented a multi‐stage bioreactor setup for continuous production of influenza hemagglutinin‐displaying virus‐like particles (HA‐VLPs) using IC‐BEVS. A setup consisting of one Cell Growth Bioreactor simultaneously feeding non‐infected insect cells to three parallel Production Bioreactors operated at different residence times (RT) (18, 36, and 54 h) was implemented; Production Bioreactors were continuously harvested. Two insect cell lines (neutral pH–adapted High Five and <jats:italic>Sf</jats:italic>9) and two recombinant baculovirus (rBAC) constructs (one that originates from a bacmid, rBAC<jats:sub>bacmid</jats:sub>, and another of non‐bacteria origin, rBAC<jats:sub>flashbac</jats:sub>) were tested. Combining rBAC<jats:sub>flashbac</jats:sub> with <jats:italic>Sf</jats:italic>9 cells was the most efficient approach, allowing consistent HA‐VLPs titers (34 ± 14 HA titer/mL) and rBAC titers (10<jats:sup>8</jats:sup>–10<jats:sup>9</jats:sup> pfu/mL) throughout the period of continuous operation (20 days). Cell growth kinetics and viability varied across RT, and higher RT was associated with increased expression of HA‐VLPs, independent of the cell line and rBAC used; RT of 54 h allowed to maximize titers. The presence of particles resembling HA‐VLPs was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy throughout the continuous operation. This work showcases the implementation of a process for continuous production of a promising class of biotherapeutics (i.e., VLPs), and paves the way for establishing continuous, integrated setups using the IC‐BEVS expression system.","PeriodicalId":9168,"journal":{"name":"Biotechnology and Bioengineering","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142989319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As bacterial signaling is dependent on the type of molecule used, lactonases with high substrate specificity are desirable for selectively targeting species in communities. Lactonases characterized from nature show limited diversity in substrate preference, making their engineering appealing but complicated by the lack of convenient assays for evaluating lactonase activity.
