Multiplex engineering at the scale of whole genomes has become increasingly important for synthetic biology and biotechnology applications. Although several methods have been reported for engineering microbe genomes, their use is limited by their complex procedures using multi-cycle transformations. Natural transformation, involving in species evolution by horizontal gene transfer in many organisms, indicates its potential as a genetic tool. Here, we aimed to develop simultaneous multiplex genome engineering (SMGE) for the simple, rapid, and efficient design of bacterial genomes one-step of natural transformation in . The transformed DNA, competency factors, and recombinases were adapted to improved co-editing frequencies above 27-fold. Single to octuplet variants with genetic diversity were simultaneously generated using all-in-one vectors harboring multi-gene cassettes. To demonstrate its potential application, the tyrosine biosynthesis pathway was further optimized for producing commercially important resveratrol by high-throughput screening of variant pool in . SMGE represents an accelerated evolution platform that generates diverse multiplex mutations for large-scale genetic engineering and synthetic biology in .
