This study demonstrates that mild salinity stress (1%–2% NaCl) significantly enhances biofilm formation in Enterobacter cloacae. Using a standardised 96‐well microtiter plate assay, we optimised in vitro biofilm quantification and classification, providing a reproducible framework for studying environmental and clinical biofilm development mechanisms ...

Multi‐Targeting Non‐Specific Genome Engineering in Bacteria
In this study, we provide the first case to use the multi‐targeting integrase (MTI) systems in bacteria and develop a host‐independent generalizable approach, MNGE (Multi‐targeting Non‐specific Genome Engineering), for multi‐copy and random integration of metabolic genes or pathways in both Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria, which will ...

ABSTRACT Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have emerged as one of the most critical drivers of climate change; this is primarily due to high concentrations and long atmospheric life of carbon dioxide (CO2). For a significant amount of time, various biological processes such as microalgal cultivation, cyanobacterial systems, photosynthetic microorganisms ...

Emerging Technologies for Biobutanol Production via Syngas Fermentation
Biobutanol production from syngas is promising but limited by microbial energy conservation and gas–liquid mass transfer. This review integrates advances in cultivation control and bioreactor engineering with next‐generation biological tools including metabolic rewiring, co‐cultivation and chain elongation, and electro‐fermentation to enable carbon ...

Careful CO Addition Enhances Autotrophic d‐Lactate Formation With Engineered Acetobacterium woodii
ABSTRACT The acetogen A. woodii efficiently converts CO2 and H2 to acetate. Metabolic engineering enabled the autotrophic production of non‐native products, for example, d‐lactate from CO2 by overexpression of d‐lactate dehydrogenase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides and knockout of the native lactate dehydrogenase. During gas fermentation with acetogens,

This work presents the physiological exploration of the halo‐alkaliphilic, carboxydotrophic acetogen bacterium MD4. In contrast to well‐characterised neutrophilic and slightly acidophilic acetogenic carboxydotrophs, this work shows an important role for formate production, instead of ethanol, as a redox exhaust mechanism in alkaline conditions ...
