Vibrio natriegens as a fast-growing host for molecular biology

Matthew T Weinstock et al. Nat Methods. 2016 Oct.

Abstract

A rapidly growing bacterial host would be desirable for a range of routine applications in molecular biology and biotechnology. The bacterium Vibrio natriegens has the fastest growth rate of any known organism, with a reported doubling time of <10 min. We report the development of genetic tools and methods to engineer V. natriegens and demonstrate the advantages of using these engineered strains in common biotech processes.
