AbstractThis I-Corps project is based on the development of an engineered strain of a marine bacterium, Vibrio natriegens, that has been developed to serve as a host organism to scale biotechnology and bioproduction. Microbes that are commonly used today as host organisms for biotechnology and bioproduction are chemically competent, meaning they are chemically treated to take in DNA. Though commonplace, this process makes cells fragile, requiring investments in equipment and infrastructure to utilize th
