Evolution is a powerful tool for the breeding of microorganisms, while the connection between the changes of intracellular metabolism and different evolution directions is still unclear, which once clarified, will greatly expand the application of evolutionary engineering. We aim to clarify the correlation between metabolism changes and evolution directions in two Corynebacterium glutamicum strains for L-valine and L-leucine overproducing originated from the same parental strain by repeated random mutagenesis and selection. GC-MS metabolomics was performed to identify and quantify intracellular metabolites of the evolved and wild-type C. glutamicum strains. Time-series comparison of the fermentation processes was performed. The metabolism differences of three strains mainly exist in central carbon metabolism and the stress-resisting modes. C. glutamicum XV developed an overall "pyruvate-saving" mode for L-valine synthesis, and adopted a trehalose accumulating strategy to resist environmental stresses. C. glutamicum CP depended on an enhanced "pyruvate-producing" mode, together with certain "pyruvate-saving" strategies, for efficient L-leucine synthesis, and accumulated proline, my-inositol, and inositol as the stress-resisting measure. These elaborate regulation strategies could be used in future metabolic engineering, making evolution more informative and applicable.

DNA topology is a direct consequence of the double helical nature of DNA and is defined by how the two complementary DNA strands are intertwined. Virtually every reaction involving DNA is influenced by DNA topology or has topological effects. It is therefore of fundamental importance to understand how this phenomenon is controlled in living cells.

The E6 and E7 proteins of the high risk human papillomaviruses (HR HPVs) play a key role in the oncogenesis associated with papillomavirus infection. Data on the variability of these proteins are limited, and the factors affecting their variability are still poorly understood. We analyzed the variability of the currently known sequences of the HPV type 16 (HPV16) E6 and E7 proteins, taking into account their geographic origin and year of sample collection, as well as the direction of their evolution in the major geographic regions of the world.

The modification of tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) for the biosynthesis of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) has recently become a focus of research. In this study, we established a droplet-based ultrahigh-throughput microfluidic screening platform (DTSP) to improve the industrial properties of TPH, whereas a bacterial biosensor for L-tryptophan (L-Trp) detection was engineered to improve sensitivity. The promoter pJ23111 achieved a strong negative correlation between the L-Trp concentration and the fluorescence output of the biosensor.
