DOI: 10.1038/s42003-021-02541-z
Abstract: The haloarchaeon Haloferax mediterranei is a potential strain for poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) production, yet the production yield and cost are the major obstacles hindering the use of this archaeal strain. Leveraging the endogenous type I-B CRISPR-Cas… read more here.
