This study expands the genetic toolbox of Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 to enhance its utility as a synthetic biology chassis through plasmid engineering, conjugation strategies, and cell-free protein synthesis.

This paper engineers Escherichia coli to utilize erythritol as a sole carbon source, enhancing growth and enabling detection of erythritol-containing beverages.

This paper introduces a strategy for creating configurable hydrogel compartments to enable sustained synthetic biology systems in vitro.

The paper introduces SYMBIOSIS, a method using orthogonal serine integrases to manipulate synthetic biobricks in vivo and in vitro, demonstrating its ability to assemble and switch on biobricks with high accuracy.
