About

Xiaomeng Ni is a pioneering researcher in synthetic biology and metabolic engineering, with a focus on developing advanced genetic tools for industrial microorganisms. Her most notable contribution is the creation of MACBETH (Multiplex Automated Corynebacterium glutamicum Base Editing Method), a groundbreaking platform that enables efficient, multiplex base editing in *Corynebacterium glutamicum*, a key bacterium for amino acid and biochemical production. This work, published in 2018, has garnered over 184 citations, underscoring its transformative impact on strain engineering. By simplifying and accelerating genome editing, MACBETH has opened new avenues for optimizing microbial cell factories, reducing the time and cost of developing high-yielding strains for sustainable biomanufacturing. Ni’s research bridges fundamental molecular biology and applied biotechnology, offering scalable solutions for industrial fermentation. Her achievements highlight her as a leader in the field, with her tools widely adopted for engineering robust, efficient microbes. For students and researchers, Ni’s work exemplifies how innovative genetic methods can drive progress in green chemistry and bio-based production.
