Abstract excerpt
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopy is a rapid, label-free tool for microbial metabolic phenotyping. Here, we integrate synchrotron-based FTIR microspectroscopy with CRISPR-Cas9 editing to decipher the functional redundancy of lysine decarboxylases (LdcC1 and LdcC2) in probiotic Escherichia coli Nissle 1917. Under lysine stress, isogenic mutants (ΔldcC1, ΔldcC1ΔldcC2) exhibited distinct FTIR...
