The paper investigates the structural robustness of Escherichia coli TpiA by introducing amino acid insertions and shows that some variants retain wild-type activity despite structural perturbations.

The paper parameterizes five bacterial gene expression systems using a standardized vector format to compare their performance across different inducers.

The paper examines features of a cyanobacterial regulatory node for optogenetic device interoperability between E. coli and P. putida, identifying translational control as a bottleneck and proposing optimization strategies.

The paper designs a digitalizer module to suppress basal transcription in Gram-negative bacteria, enabling all-or-nothing gene expression, and validates it in E. coli and Pseudomonas putida.
