Plasmid-Free Systems for Genome Engineering in Polyploid Organisms
DNA modifying enzymes are common tools for genome engineering. Genes encoding these enzymes are typically delivered into a host via plasmids and later removed by various counter-selection methods. However, this process involves steps or genetic parts that aren’t available or compatible with certain organisms. For many polyploid organisms, such...

Microbial Production of 2-Phenylethanol & 2-Phenylacetic Acid from Renewable Substrates
2-Phenylethanol is a naturally-occurring aromatic alcohol and key molecule used in the flavor and fragrance industries due to its floral, rose-like aroma. Additionally, 2PE has been considered as a potential biofuel or fuel additive due to its low volatility, high energy density and non-hygroscopic properties. Natural 2PE can be obtained from various...
