Abstract [en]

Establishing various synthetic biology tools is crucial for the development of cyanobacteria for biotechnology use, especially tools that allow for precise and markerless genome editing in a time-efficient manner. Here, we describe a riboswitch-inducible CRISPR/Cas9 system, contained on a single replicative vector, for the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. A theophylline-responsive riboswitch allowed tight control of Cas9 expression, which enabled reliable transformation of the CRISPR/Cas9 vector intoSynechocystis. Induction of the CRISPR/Cas9 mediated various types of genomic edits, specifically deletions and insertions of varying size. The editing efficiency varied depending on the target and intended edit; smaller edits performed better, reaching, e.g., 100% for insertion of a FLAG-tag onto rbcL. Importantly, the single-vector CRISPR/Cas9 system mediated multiplexed editing of up to three targets in parallel in Synechocystis. All single-target and several double-target mutants were also fully segregated after the first round of induction. Lastly, a vector curing system based on the nickel-inducible expression of the toxic mazF (from Escherichia coli) was added to the CRISPR/Cas9 vector. This inducible system allowed for curing of the vector in 25-75% of screened colonies, enabling edited mutants to become markerless.
