Endophytic Fungi, Characteristics and Their Potential for Genetic Manipulation

Genetic Manipulation of Bacteria

Genetic manipulation of glycine decarboxylation.

The glycine-serine interconversion, catalysed by glycine decarboxylase and serine hydroxymethyltransferase, is an important reaction of primary metabolism in all organisms including plants, by providing one-carbon units for many biosynthetic reactions. In plants, in addition, it is an integral part of the photorespiratory metabolic pathway and produces large amounts of photorespiratory CO(2) wi...

CRISPR-mediated multiplexed genetic manipulation

The relative ease of using Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)associated proteins (Cas-proteins) in genome editing has rapidly made this RNA-guided endonuclease system the method of choice in almost all current applications involving genetic manipulations, with Cas9 from S. pyogenes (SpCas9) being the most well characterized and broadly used [1]. Compared to the e...

Genetic Manipulation of Francisella Tularensis

Francisella tularensis is a facultative intracellular pathogen that causes the disease tularemia. F. tularensis subsp. tularensis causes the most severe disease in humans and has been classified as a Category A select agent and potential bioweapon. There is currently no vaccine approved for human use, making genetic manipulation of this organism critical to unraveling the genetic basis of patho...
