Emerging gene editing in industrial microbiology beyond CRISPR-Cas9.
Trends in biotechnology, 43(4): 742-744 PMID 39462750 DOI 10.1016/j.tibtech.2024.09.012
Abstract
The CRISPR-Cas9 system has been widely applied for industrial microbiology but is not effective in certain microorganisms. This forum explores the strategies aimed at overcoming these challenges, including the use of the Cas12a system, Cas9 variants, and non-CRISPR techniques, to provide more effective strategies for expanding applications in microbial engineering.
