ABSTRACT
The fast-growing nonmodel marine bacterium Vibrio natriegens has recently garnered attention as a host for molecular biology and biotechnology applications. In order to further its capabilities as a synthetic biology chassis, we have characterized a wide range of genetic parts and tools for use in V. natriegens. These parts include many commonly used resistance markers, promoters, ribosomal binding sites, reporters, terminators, degradation tags, origin of replication sequences, and plasmid backbones. We have characterized the behavior of these parts in different combinations and have compared their functionality in V. natriegens and Escherichia coli. Plasmid stability over time, plasmid copy numbers, and production load on the cells were also evaluated. Additionally, we tested constructs for chemical and optogenetic induction and characterized basic engineered circuit behavior in V. natriegens. The results indicate that, while most parts and constructs work similarly in the two organisms, some deviate significantly. Overall, these results will serve as a primer for anyone interested in engineering V. natriegens and will aid in developing more robust synthetic biology principles and approaches for this nonmodel chassis.
