Article Abstract
Objectives: To develop a one-step, marker-free CRISPR/Cas9 system for highly efficient genome editing in industrial Aspergillus niger, with a short genetic operation cycle.
Results: Firstly, evaluation of different promoters for sgRNA expression revealed tRNA as the most efficient, achieving a remarkable 100% gene editing efficiency. Furthermore, a counter-selectable marker, Ang-ace2, was identified for A. niger. Subsequently, a CRISPR/Cas9 plasmid was developed, utilizing a truncated AMA1 element and the Ang-ace2 conditional expression cassette driven by a Tet-on promoter. In the presence of doxycycline, the plasmid demonstrated a 33% loss efficiency in the progeny of A. niger spores after a single generation, resulting in a shortened genetic operation cycle of 16 days for CRISPR/Cas9.
Conclusions: The one-step marker-free CRISPR/Cas9 system was successfully developed in industrial A. niger, allowing for efficient gene editing while simultaneously reducing the editing time.

This study describes an optimized plastid genetic engineering platform to produce full marker-free transplastomic plants with transgene integrated at homoplasmy in one step in tissue culture. Plastid engineering is attractive for both biotechnology and crop improvement due to natural bio-confinement from maternal inheritance, the absence of transgene positional effects and silencing, the ability to express transgenes in operons, and unparalleled production of heterologous proteins. While plastid engineering has had numerous successes in the production of high-value compounds, no transplastomic plants have been approved for use in agriculture.

Background: Despite recent advances in genetic engineering tools for effectively regulating and manipulating genes, efficient simultaneous multigene insertion methods have not been established in Bacillus subtilis. To date, multilocus integration systems in B. subtilis, which is one of the main industrial enzyme producers and a GRAS (generally regarded as safe) microbial host, rely on iterative rounds of plasmid construction for sequential insertions of genes into the B.

Article Synopsis
- - The development of the 'mini-synplastome' provides a new method for introducing synthetic circuits in plant plastids without disturbing the native plastome.
- - This innovative genome structure is based on the unique organization of dinoflagellate plastomes, featuring multiple minicircles instead of a single genome.
- - Mini-synplastomes aim to enhance chloroplast biotechnology by allowing easy cloning and predictable transgene expression, while remaining independent from the plant's existing genetic material.

Deciphering the complex cellular behaviours and advancing the biotechnology applications of filamentous fungi increase the requirement for genetically manipulating a large number of target genes. The current strategies cannot cyclically coedit multiple genes simultaneously. In this study, we firstly revealed the existence of diverse homologous recombination (HR) types in marker-free editing of filamentous fungi, and then, demonstrated that sgRNA efficiency-mediated competitive inhibition resulted in the low integration of multiple genetic sites during coediting, which are the two major obstacles to limit the efficiency of cyclically coediting of multiple genes.
