Metabolic engineering using acetate as a promising building block for the production of bio‐based chemicals

Guiping Gong, Bo Wu, Linpei Liu et al. · 26 Jul 2022

The production of biofuels and biochemicals derived from microbial fermentation has received a lot of attention and interest in light of concerns about the depletion of fossil fuel resources and climatic degeneration. However, the economic viability of feedstocks for biological conversion remains a barrier, urging researchers to develop renewable and sustainable low-cost carbon sources for…

CRISPR-based gene editing technology and its application in microbial engineering

Junwei Wei, Yingjun Li · 20 Jun 2023

Gene editing technology involves the modification of a specific target gene to obtain a new function or phenotype. Recent advances in clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas-mediated technologies have provided an efficient tool for genetic engineering of cells and organisms. Here, we review the three emerging gene editing tools (ZFNs, TALENs, and CRISPR-Cas) and…

Potential one-step strategy for PET degradation and PHB biosynthesis through co-cultivation of two engineered microorganisms

Pan Liu, Tong Zhang, Yi Zheng et al. · 19 Oct 2021

The management and recycling of plastic waste is a challenging global issue. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), one of the most widely used synthetic plastics, can be hydrolyzed by a series of enzymes. However, upcycling the resulting monomers is also a problem. In this study, we designed a co-cultivation system, in which PET degradation was coupled with…

Two-component system GacS/GacA, a global response regulator of bacterial physiological behaviors

Huihui Song, Yuying Li, Yan Wang · 5 Oct 2022

The signal transduction system of microorganisms helps them adapt to changes in their complex living environment. Two-component system (TCS) is a representative signal transduction system that plays a crucial role in regulating cellular communication and secondary metabolism. In Gram-negative bacteria, an unorthodox TCS consisting of histidine kinase protein GacS (initially called LemA) and response regulatory…

Research advances on the consolidated bioprocessing of lignocellulosic biomass

Zhongye Li, Pankajkumar R. Waghmare, Lubbert Dijkhuizen et al. · 2 Feb 2024

Lignocellulosic biomass is an abundant and renewable bioresource for the production of biofuels and biochemical products. The classical biorefinery process for lignocellulosic degradation and conversion comprises three stages, i.e., pretreatment, enzymatic saccharification, and fermentation. However, the complicated pretreatment process, high cost of cellulase production, and insufficient production performance of fermentation strains have restricted the industrialization…

Engineering Microbiology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Engineering Microbiology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Engineering Microbiology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Engineering Microbiology use?
Engineering Microbiology uses Numbered (Elsevier) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, C. Lee, A representative article title, Engineering Microbiology 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Engineering Microbiology?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready Engineering Microbiology document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Engineering Microbiology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Engineering Microbiology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes Engineering Microbiology?
Engineering Microbiology is a multidisciplinary journal published by Elsevier. DocuGuru's Engineering Microbiology template matches Elsevier's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Engineering Microbiology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Engineering Microbiology template (the elsarticle class) that is ready to submit to Elsevier, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Engineering Microbiology template cost?
You can start writing in the Engineering Microbiology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Engineering Microbiology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
