A lipolytic yeast Candida aaseri SH14 that can utilise long-chain fatty acids as the sole carbon source was isolated from oil palm compost. To develop this strain as a platform yeast for the production of bio-based chemicals from renewable plant oils, a genetic manipulation system using CRISPR-Cas9 was developed. Episomal vectors for expression of Cas9 and sgRNA were constructed using an autonomously replicating sequence isolated from C. aaseri SH14. This system guaranteed temporal expression of Cas9 for genetic manipulation and rapid curing of the vector from transformed strains. A β-oxidation mutant was directly constructed by simultaneous disruption of six copies of acyl-CoA oxidases genes (AOX2, AOX4 and AOX5) in diploid cells using a single sgRNA with 70% efficiency and the Cas9 vector was efficiently removed. Blocking of β-oxidation in the triple AOX mutant was confirmed by the accumulation of dodecanedioic acid from dodecane. Targeted integration of the expression cassette for C. aaseri lipase2 was demonstrated with 60% efficiency using this CRISPR-Cas9 system. This genome engineering tool could accelerate industrial application of C. aaseri SH14 for production of bio-based chemicals from renewable oils.

Abstract Falciphora oryzae is a dark septate endophyte (DSE) isolated from wild rice roots (Oryza sativa L.). It was classified as a non-clavicitaceous endophyte. The fungus colonizes rice roots, showing a significant increase in agronomic parameters with plant biomass, rice blast resistance, yield, and quality. The construction of the genetic manipulation system is critical to study the relationship between F. oryzae and O. sativa. In the present study, the protoplast preparation and transformation system of F. oryzae was investigated. The key parameters affecting the efficiency of protoplast production, such as osmotic pressure stabilizer, enzyme digestion conditions, and fungal age, were studied. The results showed that F. oryzae strain obtained higher protoplast yield and effective transformation when treated with enzyme digestion solution containing 0.9mol L-1 KCl solution and 10 mg mL−1 glucanase at 30℃ with shaking 80 rpm for 2-3 h. When the protoplasts were plated on a regenerations-agar (RgA) medium containing 1M sucrose, the re-growth rate of protoplasts was the highest. We successfully acquired GFP-expressing transformants by transforming the pKD6-GFP vector into protoplasts. Further, the GFP expression in fungal hyphae possessed good stability and intensity during symbiosis in rice roots.The genetic manipulation system of endophytic fungus facilitates the further exploration the interaction between the endophytic fungus and their hosts.

Bacillus alcalophilusisolated was used for the production of alkaline protease. The enzyme encoded by alkaline protease gene (apr4) gene. To further improve the production of the strain for industrial requirement, a genetic manipulation system forBacillus alcalophiluswas developed. Additional copies of theapr4 gene were transferred into the strainBacillus alcalophilusand integrated into the 16S rDNA sites, yielding a series of recombinant strains. One of these recombinant strains, designated K23, exhibited superior properties for production of alkaline protease. the protease activity of K23 achieved by (6.19 ± 0.34) × 104U/ml, which is approximately 111.3% higher than that of the wild-type ones for 50-h fermentation. In addition, the new strain was genetically stable for more than 100 generations. These superior characteristics make it to be more suitable than the wild-type strain for alkaline protease production.

Our understanding of the genusNatrinemais presently limited due to the lack of available genetic tools. Auxotrophic markers have been widely used to construct genetic systems in bacteria and eukaryotes and in some archaeal species. Here, we isolated four auxotrophic mutants ofNatrinemasp. J7-2, via 1-methyl-3-nitro-1-nitroso-guanidin mutagenesis, and designated them as J7-2-1, J7-2-22, J7-2-26, and J7-2-52, respectively. The mutant phenotypes were determined to be auxotrophic for leucine (J7-2-1), arginine (J7-2-22 and J7-2-52), and lysine (J7-2-26). The complete genome and the biosynthetic pathways of amino acids in J7-2 identified that the auxotrophic phenotype of three mutants was due to gene mutations inleuB(J7-2-1),dapD(J7-2-26), andargC(J7-2-52). These auxotrophic phenotypes were employed as selectable makers to establish a transformation method. The transformation efficiencies were determined to be approximately 103transformants perµg DNA. And strains J7-2-1 and J7-2-26 were transformed into prototrophic strains with the wild type genomic DNA, amplified fragments of the corresponding genes, or the integrative plasmids carrying the corresponding genes. Additionally, exogenous genes,bgaHoramyHgene, were expressed successfully in J7-2-1. Thus, we have developed a genetic manipulation system for theNatrinemagenus based on the isolated auxotrophic mutants ofNatrinemasp. J7-2.

AbstractAcinetobacter baumannii is an emergency pathogenic bacterium for its multidrug-resistance and high mortality rates after infection. In-depth genetic analysis of A. baumannii virulence and drug-resistant genes is highly desirable. Existing methods for genetic manipulation of A. baumannii mainly rely on the use of antibiotic as the selectable marker, and the sacB/sucrose as the counter-selectable marker, which is inconvenient and inappropriate for all research of A. baumannii. Based on the highly conserved pyrF gene and its conserved 500bp-flanking sequence, we quickly and easily generated the pyrF-deleted mutants as the uracil auxotrophic host strain in three model strains and 11 clinical strains. The pyrF-carried vectors constructed for gene editing with pyrF/5-FOA as the counter-selection were conveniently and time-saving in these pyrF-deleted mutants. Utilizing the pyrF-based genetic manipulation system, we easily and efficiently modified the cas gene and CRISPR sequence of I-F CRISPR-Cas system in A. baumannii AYE, and detected the CRISPR interference and adaptation in these mutants. In summary, the pyrF-based genetic manipulation system could be broadly applicable used for efficiently maker-less gene editing in most A. baumannii strains.
