CRISPRi was used to regulate expression intensities of ftsZ or/and mreB in E. coli resulting in various reduced expression levels of ftsZ or/and mreB, respectively [51]. Combined repressions on expressions of ftsZ and mreB generated long and larger E. coli with diverse morphologies and enhanced PHB accumulations. Large cells are prone to separate from broth via gravity or filtration.
