Journal ArticleDOI
A Highly Characterized Yeast Toolkit for Modular, Multipart Assembly
TL;DR: A versatile engineering platform for yeast, which contains both a rapid, modular assembly method and a basic set of characterized parts, and genome-editing tools for making modifications directly to the yeast chromosomes, which the authors find preferable to plasmids due to reduced variability in expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Employing a biochemical protecting group for a sustainable indigo dyeing strategy.
Tammy Melody Hsu,Ditte Hededam Welner,Zachary N. Russ,Bernardo Cervantes,Ramya Lakshmi Prathuri,Paul D. Adams,Paul D. Adams,Paul D. Adams,John E. Dueber,John E. Dueber +9 more
TL;DR: A sustainable dyeing strategy that not only circumvents the use of toxic reagents for indigo chemical synthesis but also removes the need for a reducing agent for dye solubilization is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytoplasmic condensation induced by membrane damage is associated with antibiotic lethality.
Felix Wong,Felix Wong,Jonathan M. Stokes,Jonathan M. Stokes,Bernardo Cervantes,Bernardo Cervantes,Sider Penkov,Jens Friedrichs,Lars D. Renner,James J. Collins,James J. Collins,James J. Collins +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a single-cell physical biology approach was used to probe antibiotic function and showed that aminoglycosides and fluoroquinolones induce condensation through membrane damage and subsequent outflow of cytoplasmic contents as part of their lethality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coupling carboxylic acid reductase to inorganic pyrophosphatase enhances cell-free in vitro aldehyde biosynthesis
TL;DR: It is reported that in vitro activity of Car Ni is inhibited by formation of the co-product pyroph phosphate, and that pairing of an inorganic pyrophosphatase (Ppa Ec ) with Car Ni substantially improves the rate and yield of aldehyde biosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancing nutritional niche and host defenses by modifying the gut microbiome
Qing Sun,Nicole M. Vega,Bernardo Cervantes,Christopher P. Mancuso,Ning Mao,Megan N. Taylor,James J. Collins,Ahmad S. Khalil,Jeff Gore,Timothy K. Lu +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors colonized the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans gut with cellulolytic bacteria that enabled C. elegans to utilize cellulose, an otherwise indigestible substrate, as a carbon source.
