We previously engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae through CRISPR-Cas9 integration to produce Ply511, a bacteriophage endolysin active against L. monocytogenes, showing the potential of engineered yeast to produce endolysins for biocontrol. In this study, we extended this approach to the probiotic yeast S. boulardii and directly compared the two yeasts as secretion hosts for Ply511. Using a simulated human gastrointestinal environment, we evaluated their ability to retain endolysin activity and reduce L. monocytogenes levels.

Brilliant science, thoughtful discussion, and great company throughout.
A huge thank you to my fellow committee members, Iโm already excited for next year!
