ENGINEERING CO2-FIXING ESCHERICHIA COLI FOR HEXANOYL COENZYME A BIOSYNTHESIS THROUGH HETEROLOGOUS GENE EXPRESSION, GENE SILENCING AND TRANSCRIPTIONAL BIOCHEMICAL REPRESSION

Sustainably produced oleochemicals from microbial lipid metabolism are an attractive alternative to traditional industrial production that is using expensive or non-renewable feedstocks. Though, microbial chassis as cell factories for production of oleochemicals at high titer for commercial exploitation require biochemical and genetic manipulation towards specific gene programming. As such, Escherichia coli cells are the laboratory workhorse with significant importance in biotechnological development and are the prime microbial candidate to drive synthesis of valuable compounds. The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate a novel metabolic system in Escherichia coli for controlled expression of specific genes encoding putative heterologous lipid-related enzymes and silencing native enzymes as wells as transcription factors to augment metabolic flow of specific pathways towards hexanoyl-CoA accumulation in the cell at commercial concentrations using a cheap feedstock. First, a CO2-fixing pathway was constructed in an Escherichia coli strain by introducing a donated expression cassette containing genes encoding two sequential cyanobacterial Calvin cycle enzymes; Rubisco (RBC)-encoding genes ( rbcL-rbcX-rbcS ), and phosphoribulokinase-encoding gene ( PRK ) and a cyanobacterial carbonic anhydrase (CA)-encoding genes ( ccaA ), mimicking cyanobacterial carbon concentrating mechanism. Second, a hexanoyl-CoA-producing pathway was incorporated by including an Arabidopsis thaliana acyl-lipid thioesterase 4-encoding gene ( ALT4 ) and acyl-activating enzyme-encoding gene ( AAE17 ). Next, an antisense RNA pathway was incorporated into the previously engineered strain to prevent the flow of the produced hexanoyl-CoA to β-oxidation and phospholipid synthesis. Three RNA-silencing sequences targeting Escherichia coli anaerobic acyl-CoA dehydrogenase-encoding gene ( Ydio ), aerobic acyl-CoA dehydrogenase-encoding gene ( FadE ) and fused 2-acylglycerophospho-ethanolamine acyltransferase/acyl-acyl carrier protein synthetase-encoding gene ( aas ) were incorporated. Finally, DNA-binding transcriptional dual regulator-encoding gene ( FadR ) targeting β-oxidation repression was incorporated. Markedly, the engineered Escherichia coli productivity of hexanoyl‑CoA was 100% increase over wildtype. This multi-gene transformation system is the first report in increasing hexanoyl-CoA through controlling simultaneously fatty acid biosynthesis and β-oxidation, utilizing simple RNA silencing and transcriptional repression technology in Escherichia coli cells.

Congrats to Michael for Defending his Thesis!

Michael presented his exciting results on hybrid integration of superconductors and semiconductors with SAW resonators for quantum interconnects. Great job!

Quantum interconnects—devices or processes that transfer quantum information between distinct physical degrees of freedom—are an essential component of many future quantum technologies. The promise of quantum interconnects to preserve fragile quantum states across vast frequency ranges and long distances would open many opportunities for distributing quantum information between spins, phonons, and photons. A variety of approaches are being investigated to connect such systems; recently, elastic waves, and in particular surface acoustic waves (SAWs), have become a versatile tool for controlling individual artificial atoms, including microwave-frequency superconducting qubits and optical-frequency quantum emitters. However, the coupling of SAWs and optically active systems is lagging the current state-of-the-art with SAWs and microwave-frequency superconducting circuits. This research aims to address this technology gap by combining superconducting and optical qubit systems with SA W resonators to mediate coherent interactions between microwave and optical frequency quantum systems. This thesis focuses on two leading quantum emitter platforms—semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) and defect-based quantum emitters in van der Waal materials (vdWMs). Developing a new heterogeneous platform—the first demonstration of strong piezoelectric lithium niobate integrated with both superconducting electronics and III/V semiconductors—SAW resonators with high internal quality factors Qi > 16,000 were demonstrated, and photoluminescence of the QD emission showed evidence of both strain-based SAW modulation of the QD exciton as well as acoustoelectric carrier injection. Experiments with vDWM emitters showed SAW modulation with some of the highest demonstrated strain sensitivities, as well as novel phenomena, including the mixing of excitonic states, which provides a path towards entangled photon pair generation from vDWMs. Further experiments will probe a new set of novel optomechanical devices designed to maximize the optomechanical interaction strength and with the SAW resonator cryogenically cooled to its quantum ground state, moving towards the quantum regime of SAW-quantum emitter optomechanics.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .

• 48 units of university electives. These can be additional Engineering courses (including the option of a minor or another major) or courses from another ANU College.

Double degree

• The Engineering component of the Flexible Double Degree requires a total of 144 units.
• There are no university electives available in a double degree.
• Typically students will enrol in 24 units per semester. This is four, six unit courses per semester. There are some variations in your later years with double weighted (12 unit) courses.
• A major is typically 48 units of courses and a minor is 24 units. You will need to complete at least one Engineering major in your degree.
• In the single degree you will have 48 units (eight courses) of university electives. You may use these to do additional engineering courses including an engineering minor or even another engineering major, or you may choose to take other courses of general interest including majors/minors from outside of Engineering. You should note that you can only do a maximum of 60 units of 1000-level courses.
• In the double degree, you have no electives - your other degree requirements use up all of these.

The definition of full-time and part-time status can be found here . While it's possible to enrol in fewer courses per semester, it may take you longer to finish your program and get your degree. If you are an international student you must follow the requirement specified by your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) and your visa, which normally require you to enrol in 24 units per semester in order to finish your program of study on time.

Important things to keep in mind when choosing your 1000-level courses

• Note that if you are commencing in July you should send an email to <studentadmin.cecs[at]anu.edu.au> for advice about your enrolment or attend an enrolment advice session at the university in the week before semester commences.
• If you studied ACT Maths Methods, or are not confident in your Maths ability, please FOLLOW THE ADVICE HERE
• Students who excel in maths and have done the highest level of maths available to them at school should read the following: You may choose to enrol in MATH1115 and MATH1116 (honours maths) in place of MATH1013 and MATH1014 . These courses are significantly more difficult and will likely mean a higher workload, but they will give you a much deeper understanding of underlying mathematical concepts, which may be beneficial for your future studies. You are encouraged to seriously consider this option. 
• Both PHYS1001 and PHYS1101 satisfy the compulsory first-year physics requirements for BE students.
• PHYS1101 – Physics 1 is the recommended first year physics course for BE students. It is also a compulsory pre-requisite for subsequent Physics courses. It is recommended for BE students who are interested to do more Physics courses as electives.
• PHYS1001 is advised only if you did not complete year 11 and 12 physics.
• PHYS1001 is offered in Semester 1 only. PHYS1101 is offered in both Semester 1 and Semester 2.
• It is possible to do PHYS1001 in Semester 1 then PHYS1101 in Semester 2. In this case, PHYS1001 is counted as a 1000 series elective course.
• Both COMP1730 and COMP1100 satisfy the compulsory first-year computing requirements for BE students.
• Both COMP1730 and COMP1100 are offered in S1 and S2.
• COMP1730 Programming for Scientists is recommended for BE students who are looking to do a single computing course to satisfy the degree requirements.
• COMP1100 Programming as Problem Solving is the first of three core computer science courses on programming. It is a compulsory pre-requisite (directly or indirectly) for subsequent computing courses. It is recommended for BE students who are interested to do more Computer Science courses as electives.
• Students having a strong maths background and significant programming experience might like to choose COMP1130 as the advanced version of the programming course.

See available majors and minors for this program

There are a number of Engineering majors and minors for you to choose from. The good news is that you do not need to make any decisions about these until after first year. Just follow the first year enrolment pattern for single and double degrees. If you want more information about majors and minors you can have a look at the Bachelor of Engineering Degree Requirements in the 'Programs and Courses' website

There is one university elective in your first year of study. If you are in a flexible double degree and need to take more than one course from your other degree during first year, you should consider doing COMP1730 in your 2nd year thus freeing up an elective in second semester of first year.
