摘要

Application of CRISPR-Cas systems (involving clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats and their CRISPR-associated proteins) has altered the course of genomic engineering across the spectrum of life. Bacillus subtilis is an industrial bacterium whose genetic tools for scalable strain construction are primitive in comparison to those for genetically tractable organisms such as Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae . Westbrook et al. (p. 48764895) have developed a comprehensive CRISPR-Cas9 tool kit for B. subtilis which enables guide RNA delivery and eviction for continuous genome editing, simultaneous targeting of multiple loci for gene insertion and mutation, and transcriptional interference. This work could potentially lead to high-throughput strain engineering of B. subtilis .Subseafloor sediment provides a unique opportunity to investigate drivers of microbial diversity in communities that may be isolated for millions of years. A study by Walsh and colleagues (p. 49944999) shows that bacterial richness in subseafloor sediment declines exponentially with sediment age and in parallel with the rate of organic-matter oxidation. This suggests that subseafloor diversity ultimately depends on electron donor diversity and/or total community respiration. These results provide important new insights into how and why biological richness changes over time in subseafloor sediment.
