A novel and safe SmartCap® SC101 to develop the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine STP2104 inducing potent immune responses in humans [PDF]
We have developed a 5′-capping library screening (CLS) method using over 30 different novel cap analogues. The optimal 5′-cap for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA vaccine STP2104 was selected and applied.

Screening and Identification of Trichoderma Strains isolated from Natural Habitats in China with Potential Agricultural Applications. [PDF]
Trichoderma spp. are widely distributed in natural habitats and have been evaluated as a potential biocontrol agent (BCA) for disease control and plant growth promotion. In this study, 1308 Trichoderma strains were obtained from the plant rhizosphere soil, above‐ground plants, and decaying wood from natural habitats in China. Among them, 49 Trichoderma

Discovery and development of a safe and efficient COVID-19 mRNA vaccine, STP2104, using a novel capping library screening method [PDF]
Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines represent a critical avenue for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) prevention. We developed a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine encoding a codon-optimized full-length ancestral spike (S) protein with a signal peptide, which employs our

Pathway Evolution Through a Bottlenecking-Debottlenecking Strategy and Machine Learning-Aided Flux Balancing. [PDF]
A biofoundry‐assisted strategy for pathway bottlenecking and debottlenecking enables the parallel evolution of all pathway enzymes along a predictable evolutionary trajectory. A machine learning model can further relax the epistasis of the evolved pathway by optimizing the corresponding promoter combinations.

The serine transporter SdaC prevents cell lysis upon glucose depletion in Escherichia coli. [PDF]
Our results reveal that the serine transporter SdaC plays a critical role in maintaining amino acid homeostasis during shifts in nutrient availability in Escherichia coli. Abstract The amino acid serine plays diverse metabolic roles, yet bacteria actively degrade exogenously provided serine via deamination to pyruvate.

Engineering a Robust Escherichia coli W Platform for Scalable Production of Flavonoid-O-Glucosides. [PDF]
Escherichia coli W demonstrates enhanced flavonoid tolerance while the optimisation of sucrose metabolism in this strain enables efficient chemical glycosylation. Elevated UDP‐glucose production requires both pathway overexpression and removal of native glucose catabolism.

Nitrogen Fertilizer Recommendations for Sugarcane Production for Sugar on Florida Sand Soils
Sands used in sugarcane production in Florida have low levels of organic matter, silt, and clay, and they provide little nitrogen (N) through mineralization of organic matter and possess a low capacity for N retention as a result.

Engineered acetoacetate‐inducible whole‐cell biosensors based on the AtoSC two‐component system
Rutter and coworkers engineer a range of acetoacetate sensitive whole‐cell biosensors, based on the AtoSC two‐component system. A modelling and sensitivity analysis approach is applied to identify factors that are important in determining the response of these biosensors.

Previous work on antibiotic‐tolerant persisters of pathogenic Escherichia coli highlighted the role of PasT, described as a toxin of a toxin–antitoxin system, in their resilience. Here, we show that PasT is not a toxin but rather the bacterial homolog of mitochondrial Coq10 that guides the electron carrier ubiquinone in respiratory electron transport ...
