, a fast-growing bacterium, is an emerging chassis of next-generation industrial biotechnology capable of thriving under open and continuous culture conditions. Cadaverine, a valuable industrial C5 platform chemical, has various chemical and biological activities. This study found that exhibited superior tolerance to lysine, the substrate of cadaverine production. For the first time, a cadaverine synthesis pathway was introduced into for whole-cell catalysis of cadaverine from lysine. A high-efficiency cadaverine-producing strain harboring a toxin-antitoxin system, (pSEVA341-pTac--pHbpBC-) with (PN96_RS17440) inactivation, was constructed. In 7 L bioreactors, the cadaverine titer increased from 115 g/L in the original strain to 158 g/L within 11 h of biotransformation, exhibiting a 37% increase in production. Its productivity reached 14.4 g/L/h with a conversion rate as high as 90%. These results confirm as an exceptional chassis for effective cadaverine bioproduction.

Imbalances in the mammalian gut are associated with acute and chronic conditions, and using engineered probiotic strains to deliver synthetic constructs to treat them is a promising strategy. However, high rates of mutational escape and genetic instability limit the effectiveness of biocontainment circuits needed for safe and effective use. Here, we describe STALEMATE (equence enngd ulti lyered geneic buffring), a dual-layered failsafe biocontainment strategy that entangles genetic sequences to create pseudoessentiality and buffer against mutations.

The presence of Salmonella species cells in the viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state has been extensively confirmed in both aqueous environments and food systems, posing a significant and often underestimated threat to public health. However, the regulatory mechanisms governing the formation and resuscitation of VBNC Salmonella remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to elucidate the functions of yeaZ in regulating the formation and resuscitation of VBNC Salmonella enteritidis.

Helicobacter pylori is a significant human pathogen associated with gastric diseases, yet the contribution of plasmids to its pathogenicity remains largely unexplored. In this study, we combined plasmid network analysis, dereplication, functional annotation and phylogenetic approaches to provide a comprehensive genomic and functional characterization of the H. pylori plasmidome using publicly available plasmid sequences.

Type I toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems consist of a protein toxin that exerts a cytostatic or cytotoxic effect and an antisense RNA antitoxin that prevents translation of the toxin. Although well studied, type I TA systems have so far only been discovered in bacteria from the phyla Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Tenericutes. We hypothesized that type I systems could also be present in Cyanobacteria.
