In a step forward for genetic engineering and synthetic biology, US researchers have modified E coli bacteria to be immune to infection by all natural viruses tested so far. The team used two safeguard methods to prevent the bacteria and their modified genes from escaping into the wild.

A naturally occurring system for tuning CRISPR-Cas9 expressing in bacteria, identified in a study published in Cell , could have implications for gene editing therapies as well. A CRISPR-Cas9 system has two components: the Cas9 guide RNA that directs the system to edit a particular gene, and the CRISPR “scissors” that make the cut.

coli bacteria, as well as lambda bacteriophage, can adapt to the alterations in the composition of their nutrient medium. It is worth noting that the transcription factor is responsible for recruiting RNA polymerase to bind to the gene and produce messenger RNA, which is then translated into the protein.
