A genetic toolkit for stable transgenesis in the anaerobic gut parasite <i>Blastocystis</i> ST7-B

2026-04-29

Abstract excerpt

Blastocystis is among the most prevalent microbial eukaryotes in the human gut, yet it has remained largely inaccessible to functional genetics. Here, we report a combinatorial toolkit for Blastocystis ST7-B that enables stable transgene maintenance under antibiotic selection and recovery of colony-derived transgenic lines. Guided by a proteomics-informed candidate screen, we identified endogenous promoter–termin...
