Recent advances in non-model bacterial chassis construction

The development of bacterial chassis to increase productivity and reduce industrial costs in value-added biochemical production has gained significant attention. Current efforts have focused on model bacteria, thus limiting their suitability to produce specialized products. Therefore, there is a growing emphasis on developing specialized non-model bacterial chassis to expand the repertoire of bioproducts. However, the lack of genetic information and tools for non-model bacteria remains challenging. In this review, we categorize and introduce non-model chassis based on their characteristics in relation to the target products. We also provide an overview of the trends in the development of genome-reduced chassis to enhance productivity. Furthermore, we propose synthetic biology technologies that can be applied to a broad range of non-model bacteria.
