Harnessing endogenous CRISPR-Cas9 for inducible genetic engineering of Apilactobacillus kunkeei

An inducible genome-editing framework exploiting the endogenous Cas9 system of Apilactobacillus kunkeei, a key member of the honeybee microbiota, is established and the toolkit available for harnessing endogenous CRISPR-Cas systems in genetically recalcitrant, non-model gram-positive bacteria is expanded.

Natural transformation drives large-scale genome mosaicism in human gut bifidobacteria.

It is demonstrated that human-associated bifidobacteria undergo extensive chromosomal transfer through natural transformation, establishing natural transformation as a key mechanism that promotes genome plasticity and contributes to adaptive evolution in bifidobacteria, thereby expanding the current understanding of ho...

Construction of an all-in-one doxycycline-inducible Cre/loxP marker recycling system in Aspergillus species

A novel marker recycling cassette is reported for Aspergillus species that enables highly efficient gene disruption and marker recycling by combining a doxycycline-inducible Cre/ loxP system with a uracil biosynthesis pathway and counterselection using uracil analogs.
