A recent report discusses research findings on Gram-Positive Bacteria - Nocardia. The study focuses on soil-dwelling Actinomycetes, which are a diverse and common part of the global microbiome. However, these bacteria lack the genetic tools necessary for characterization and utilization in biotechnology. To address this, researchers at Rice University have developed a modular plasmid assembly framework and genetic control elements for the previously genetically intractable Gram-positive environmental isolate Rhodococcus ruber C208. This toolkit allows for the design of complex genetic circuits in environmental Mycobacteriales and provides new genetic tools for these species. [Extracted from the article] |
