Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is pivotal for the molecular characterization of ()-the leading bacterial cause of sexually transmitted infections and infectious blindness worldwide. WGS can inform epidemiologic, public health and outbreak investigations of these human-restricted pathogens. However, challenges persist in generating high-quality genomes for downstream analyses given its obligate intracellular nature and difficulty with propagation.

Members of the KCNE family are accessory subunits that modulate voltage-gated potassium channels. One member, KCNE4, has been shown to inhibit the potassium ion current in these channels. However, little is known about the structure, dynamics, and mode of inhibition of KCNE4, likely due to challenges in overexpressing and purifying the protein.

The E. coli strains harboring the polyketide synthase (pks) island encode the genotoxin colibactin, a secondary metabolite reported to have severe implications for human health and for the progression of colorectal cancer. The present study involves whole-genome-wide comparison and phylogenetic analysis of pks harboring E.

Since their discovery in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), F-dependent enzymes have been identified as both important drug targets and potential industrial biocatalysts, including for bioremediation of otherwise recalcitrant substrates. Mtb-FGD1, utilizes glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) as an electron donor for the reduction of F. Current expression systems for Mtb-FGD1 use Mycobacterium smegmatis as host, because of the tendency for it to form inclusion bodies in E.
