\Q[CVI-syn3B strains differ from <JCVI-syn3.0> by the presence of 19 additional non-essential genes that result in a more easily manipulated cell. JCVI-syn3B additionally includes a dual loxP landing pad that enables easy Cre recombinase mediated insertion of genes]
It is also interesting to see how they are interested in co-culture with <HeLa> cells, presumably to enable infectious bacterial disease studies.
At https://biology.indiana.edu/news-events/news/2023/lennon-minimal-cells.html (2023) they let it re-evove to it it would regain some fitness, and it did.
