Combinatorial metabolic engineering platform enabling stable overproduction of lycopene from carbon dioxide by cyanobacteria (2020)
Other

Cyanobacteria are simple, efficient, genetically-tractable photosynthetic microorganisms representing ideal biocatalysts for CO2 capture and conversion, in principle. In practice, genetic instability and low productivity are key, linked problems in e...

A conserved protein, BcmA, mediates motility, biofilm formation, and host colonisation in Adherent Invasive Escherichia coli (2019)
Other

Adherent Invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) is a non-diarrhoeagenic intestinal E. coli pathotype associated with Crohn’s Disease. AIEC pathogenesis is characterised by biofilm formation, adhesion to and invasion of intestinal epithelial cells, and intr...

Whole genome duplication potentiates inter-specific hybridisation and niche shifts in Australian burrowing frogs Neobatrachus (2019)
Other

Polyploidy plays an important role in evolution because it can lead to increased genetic complexity and speciation. It also provides an extra copy buffer and increases genetic novelty. While both common and well-studied in plants, polyploidy is rare...
