“…Eventually, these efforts will build various genetic circuits capable of producing predictable outputs in response to various input signals through standardized components and modularization [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. In recent years, various microorganisms have been engineered to maximize their productivity by establishing predictable systems through the development of synthetic promoters, untranslated regions (UTRs), evolved metabolic enzymes, genome-editing tools, regulatory circuits, and chassis platforms [ 11 , 12 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]. If these synthetic biology approaches are fully applied to acetogens, many of their limitations, such as the ones mentioned above, could be resolved.…”
