Optimizing Cell-based Antimicrobials through Pooled Genomic Libraries

DNA synthesis and assembly technologies ushered in through synthetic biology have great promise for biomanufacturing, bioremediation, and the development of living therapeutics. Unfortunately, predicting sequence to function relationships, including for biosynthetic pathways expressed in a new host organism, is difficult and often requires many iterative cycles of design, construction, and testing. We are working to develop data-driven approaches to identify the genetic determinants of growth defects and productivity for the expression of a cell-based antimicrobial. We assayed the growth, pigment production, and antimicrobial activity of a collection of over 10,000 genetic mutants of the violacein biosynthetic pathway and sequenced the genetic variation of these mutants. Through this project, we have developed an innovative codebase to automate the determination of pigmentation and antimicrobial clearing diameter for tens of thousands of genetic mutants cultivated on agar dishes. Further, we have written DNA sequence analysis code to demultiplex & provide consensus sequences from high-throughput PacBio long-read circular consensus sequencing (CCS) datasets. From this foundation, we plan to map DNA sequence to function to predict an optimal genetic design to maximize antimicrobial activity while minimizing deleterious growth effects. The workflows and algorithms developed through this project can be broadly applied to other engineered functions in microbes, uncovering sequence to function relationships for complex phenotypes where function impacts fitness.

Library of Advanced Models of large-scale PV (LAMP) (Final Technical Report)

A suite of dynamic models of photovoltaic (PV) systems is developed in this project to accurately capture PV system dynamics during different contingencies. The following models are included: (i) quasi-dynamic, (ii) high-fidelity electromagnetic transient (EMT), (iii) advanced, and (iv) baseline. The models have the flexibility to consider different control functionalities at different controller levels. The study’s requirements determine the type of model needed. For example, high-fidelity EMT models are recommended for contingency studies. Advanced models are recommended for online or real-time implementations with resource constraints, whereas quasi-dynamic models are useful for studying the impact of weather variations.
