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...
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...
