AI-assisted improvement of Aspergillus oryzae β-galactosidase using an Ensemble of Protein Language Models

This paper uses an ensemble of protein language models to identify beneficial mutations in Aspergillus oryzae β-galactosidase, improving catalytic efficiency and thermostability without supervised training.

Synthetic Yarrowia lipolytica consortium for efficient conversion of lignocellulosic oligosaccharides into lipids

This study demonstrates a synthetic Yarrowia lipolytica consortium that efficiently converts lignocellulosic oligosaccharides into lipids, with division-of-labor strategies outperforming multifunctional monocultures.
