Abstract Methanococcus maripaludis is a fast-growing and genetically tractable methanogen. To become a useful host organism for the biotechnological conversion of CO2 and renewable hydrogen to fuels and value-added products, its product scope needs to be extended. Metabolic engineering requires reliable and efficient genetic tools, in particular for genome editing…

It was a relatively quiet week in clinical trial news heading into the holidays. Here’s a look. COVID-19-Related Statera Biopharma dosed the first patient in its study of STAT-205 to mitigate COVID-19 progression. The drug is an immune modulator designed to decrease elevated inflammatory responses associated with cytokine production and modulate the…

The prokaryotic clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (CRISPR/Cas) protein system has been reconstructed for a revolutionary targeted genome modification platform and nucleic acid detection tool. Restricted by the protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) requirement, specificity, and efficiency, more Cas proteins need to be characterized and adapted for…
