Chassis strain suitable for producing multiple compounds is a central concept in synthetic biology. Design of a chassis using computational, first-principle, models is particularly attractive due to the predictability and control it offers, including against phenotype reversal due to adaptive mut...

Plant terrestrialization necessitated overcoming a barrage of stressors. Embryophytes (land plants) use an integrated response network to adjust their molecular physiology in response to terrestrial stressors—one of the important stressors is UV irradiance. The zygnematophytes are the closest str...

Robust and efficient hosts are necessary to facilitate advances in biotechnology. We unveil Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain XP as a promising new microbial chassis owing to its high growth rate and robustness. This strain has a doubling time of 48.2 min, which is 12.8 min faster than the...
