1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundGenome sequencing revealed that Streptomyces sp. can dedicate up to ~ 10% of their genomes for the biosynthesis of bioactive secondary metabolites. However, the majority of these biosynthetic gene clusters are only weakly expressed or not at all. Indeed, the biosynthesis of natural products is highly regulated through integrating multiple nutritional and environmental signals perceived by pleiotropic and pathway-specific transcriptional regulators. Although pathway-specific refactoring has been a proved, productive approach for the activation of individual gene clusters, the construction of a global super host strain by targeting pleiotropic-specific genes for the expression of multiple diverse gene clusters is an attractive approach.

resultsStreptomyces albus J1074 is a gifted heterologous host. To further improve its secondary metabolite expression capability, we rationally engineered the host by targeting genes affecting NADPH availability, precursor flux, cell growth and biosynthetic gene transcriptional activation. These studies led to the activation of the native paulomycin pathway in engineered S. albus strains and importantly the upregulated expression of the heterologous actinorhodin gene cluster.

conclusionsRational engineering of Streptomyces albus J1074 yielded a series of mutants with improved capabilities for native and heterologous expression of secondary metabolite gene clusters.
