“The researchers found that most of the beneficial mutations favored by natural selection in their experiments were in essential genes. But one critical mutation was in a nonessential gene called ftsZ, which codes for a protein that regulates cell division. When it mutated in M. mycoides, the bacterium grew 80% larger. Curiously, the same mutation in the minimal cell didn’t increase its size. That shows how mutations can have different functions depending on the cellular context, Lennon said.”

@WhatisBiotechnology These guidelines were first publicly discussed at the in 1975. 👉 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asilom

More recently, the experiments have gone from recombining 🧬 to de novo programming of 🦠 ⬇️

The project in synthetic biology of developing cells from scratch with the most minimal systems possible continues, now with the ability to make movement happen.

Max Planck Institute scientists have taken artificial liposome vesicles made in previous experiments and combined them with Min proteins from E. coli, surprisingly creating a mechanical force gradient and moving the vesicles.
