Therefore it is important to understand the mechanisms that enable metabolic robustness. A massively parallel CRISPRi screen demonstrated that E. coli metabolism is very robust against knockdowns ...

In order to use carbon dioxide as food, organisms must have certain metabolic machinery to process it. The scientists chose the compound formate to be used in E. coli’s metabolism. Formate can ...

Figure 2: The iterative reconstruction and history of the E. coli metabolic network. GEMs can also provide a guide to biological discovery. This capability is based on comparison of computed and ...

Although some researchers could produce intracellular haem using recombinant E. coli strains, its final titer was extremely low, resulting from the use of sub-optimal metabolic pathways.

Researchers previously found that after roughly 31,500 generations had passed in a laboratory evolution experiment a rare metabolic innovation emerged in which Escherichia coli developed the ...

Bioengineers have developed a computational model of 1,366 genes in E. coli that includes 3D protein structures and has enabled them to compute the temperature sensitivity of the bacterium's proteins.

Inflamed intestines produce their own brand of fertilizers, which nourish E. coli and other disease-associated ... advantage of changes in a host’s metabolism to overcome competitors, says ...

The lac operon system of E. coli has been utilized widely for both experimental and industrial purposes. The lacZ gene, which encodes β-galactosidase, is used most extensively as a reporter gene ...

Teresa Bergholz and Jade Mitchell, both Ph.D.’s with Michigan State University (MSU), hope to characterize the changes that E. coli O157 ... is removed, the metabolism of cells in the persister ...

To understand how E. coli accomplishes this task, researchers led by Hannes from the Max Planck Institute for terrestrial Microbiology applied the CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) technology. By inducing ...
