Strategies for engineering domesticated and undomesticated human microbes
Human-associated microbes hold immense therapeutic potential, yet most species remain undomesticated due to cultivation barriers and limited genetic tools. Recent advances in genetic engineering are overcoming these challenges, enabling the precise manipulation of both domesticated and previously intractable microbes. This review highlights established strategies for engineering domesticated strains, such as Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 and lactic acid bacteria, for diverse therapeutic applications. We also discuss emerging tools, including optimized transformation protocols for skin commensals and genome-editing approaches for Clostridium species and undomesticated E. coli, that address key barriers in non-model microbes and expand the potential of engineered microbiome therapeutics.
期刊介绍:
Current Opinion in Biotechnology (COBIOT) is renowned for publishing authoritative, comprehensive, and systematic reviews. By offering clear and readable syntheses of current advances in biotechnology, COBIOT assists specialists in staying updated on the latest developments in the field. Expert authors annotate the most noteworthy papers from the vast array of information available today, providing readers with valuable insights and saving them time.
As part of the Current Opinion and Research (CO+RE) suite of journals, COBIOT is accompanied by the open-access primary research journal, Current Research in Biotechnology (CRBIOT). Leveraging the editorial excellence, high impact, and global reach of the Current Opinion legacy, CO+RE journals ensure they are widely read resources integral to scientists' workflows.
COBIOT is organized into themed sections, each reviewed once a year. These themes cover various areas of biotechnology, including analytical biotechnology, plant biotechnology, food biotechnology, energy biotechnology, environmental biotechnology, systems biology, nanobiotechnology, tissue, cell, and pathway engineering, chemical biotechnology, and pharmaceutical biotechnology.
