The paper develops a DNA part library for X. griffiniae to facilitate genetic circuit construction and characterize promoter and RBS strengths.

This paper identifies genes in Xenorhabdus griffiniae that change expression in response to the presence of its nematode host Steinernema hermaphroditum, with ymdA affecting host colonization.

This paper predicts microbial dioxygen utilization from genome sequences without gene annotation, achieving >70% accuracy and demonstrating environmental correlations.

This paper develops a field-deployable arsenic sensor using genetically modified Bacillus megaterium integrated with CMOS technology, achieving detection below EPA thresholds in soil and air.

This paper develops cell-free transcription-translation systems in three soil Pseudomonads, demonstrating their ability to characterize and engineer biological parts without genome integration.

The paper engineers a ratiometric bioreporter in Pseudomonas synxantha 2-79 to detect phosphorus limitation in soil, showing improved performance over native promoters and robustness across pH ranges.

This study constructs a xylose-inducible system in Bacillus megaterium to express amyloids CsgA and TasA, finding that only TasA is exported and provides a growth benefit and increased adhesion.
