This study identifies key microbial species and metabolic pathways in high-performing biofilm-based microbial electrosynthesis systems and provides insights into their community dynamics and product formation.

This study quantifies the physiology and biomass composition of C. jadinii grown on ethanol, identifying its high growth rate, energy efficiency, and protein content as promising traits for industrial applications.

CRI-SPA transfers genetic features between yeast strains to map sequence to function, demonstrating its ability to transfer genes for betaxanthin production across a yeast knock-out collection.

This paper introduces synthetic chromosomes in yeast for modular pathway engineering, demonstrating efficient assembly and stable replication of non-coding DNA.

The paper designs synthetic control circuits in yeast to stabilize vanillin-β-glucoside production over multiple generations, achieving higher yields in fermentation.

The paper uses nanopore sequencing and a new method to show lager-brewing yeasts originated from a single hybridization event, with Group 1 and 2 strains diverging after this event.

This study shows that CRISPR-Cas9 editing in diploid yeast causes off-target mutations and loss of heterozygosity due to homology-directed repair.

This paper presents a near-complete genome assembly of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain CEN.PK113-7D using Nanopore sequencing, revealing new genes and a chromosomal translocation.
