RobuCop
We try to build Robust Chloroplasts for natural and synthetic carbon fixation! Join us in the journey to better climate change adaptions using photosynthesis.
Cooperation project by @unimarburg.bsky.social @mpimicrobiomarburg.bsky.social funded by LOEWE.
- Oh happy day! The latest research funded by RobuCop was just published in Nature Plants 🥳 Read below on a modular high-throughput approach for chloroplast engineering in Chlamy! www.nature.com/articles/s41... @unimarburg.bsky.social @mpimicrobiomarburg.bsky.social @proloewe.bsky.social

View full threadBy integrating this to the MoClo standard, we enabled standardized, automated assembly and rapid testing of genetic combinations - resulting in more than 30 new synthetic genetic elements. We demonstrated a proof of concept by introducing a synthetic photorespiration pathway into the chloroplast!
- Our study provides a high-throughput platform and standardized genetic parts for chloroplast engineering, offering a foundation for rapid prototyping of complex genetic designs with potential transferability to crop plastids. The best part: it’s freely available to the community ❤️
- In our new study, we established Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as a prototyping chassis for chloroplast synthetic biology. This fast-growing alga has a single chloroplast per cell and can be cultivated in high-throughput formats, making it an ideal testbed.
- We developed an automation workflow to generate, handle, and analyze thousands of transplastomic strains in parallel. We expanded the available selection markers and reporter genes and systematically characterized over 140 regulatory parts.
- The potential of chloroplast synthetic biology is immense: from increasing yield and resilience to improving nutrient profiles and developing new ways of CO₂ fixation. But realizing this potential requires more than traditional breeding or gene-editing techniques...
