摘要

Background

Vibrio sp. dhg is a fast-growing, alginate-utilizing, marine bacterium being developed as a platform host for macroalgae biorefinery. To maximize its potential in the production of various value-added products, there is a need to expand genetic engineering tools for versatile editing.

Results

The CRISPR-based cytosine base editing (CBE) system was established in Vibrio sp. dhg, enabling C: G-to-T: A point mutations in multiple genomic loci. This CBE system displayed high editing efficiencies for single and multiple targets, reaching up to 100%. The CBE system efficiently introduced premature stop codons, inactivating seven genes encoding putative restriction enzymes of the restriction-modification system in two rounds. A resulting engineered strain displayed significantly enhanced transformation efficiency by up to 55.5-fold.

Conclusions

Developing a highly efficient CBE system and improving transformation efficiency enable versatile genetic manipulation of Vibrio sp. dhg for diverse engineering in brown macroalgae bioconversion.
