Mobile genetic elements are active and responsive to community context in model microbial consortium

Lillian C Lowrey, Josué A. Rodríguez-Ramos, Amy Zimmerman, William C. Nelson, James Dekontee Jaryenneh, Kelly Porter Williams, Kirsten Hofmockel, Joseph S. Schoeniger, Catherine M. Mageeney

The paper examines GI activity in a microbial consortium under stress, finding increased excision and expression compared to monocultures, and highlights the importance of community context in GI dynamics.

Integrase-On-Demand: Bioprospecting integrases for targeted genomic insertion of genetic cargo

Hannah M. McClain, Lillian C Lowrey, Laura B Quinto, Ellis L. Torrance, Tomas R Gagliano, Farren J. Isaacs, Joseph S. Schoeniger, Kelly Porter Williams, Catherine M. Mageeney

The paper introduces Integrase-On-Demand (IOD), a method to identify integrases from bacteria and archaea that can integrate genetic cargo into target prokaryotes without requiring synthetic attB sites.

DNA duplication-mediated activation of a two-component regulatory system serves as a bet-hedging strategy for Burkholderia thailandensis

Lillian C Lowrey, Katlyn B. Mote, Peggy A. Cotter

This study shows that Burkholderia thailandensis uses DNA duplication via insertion sequences to activate a two-component system, enabling a bet-hedging strategy for biofilm formation under changing environmental conditions.
