Abstract
Acetate can be a sustainable and renewable carbon source that holds significant promise for biotechnological production but is underutilized industrially due to limited microbial efficiency. Vibrio natriegens, recognized for exceptionally fast growth rates, represents a compelling host for developing efficient acetate-based bioprocesses. In this study, adaptive laboratory evolution significantly enhanced V. natriegens' ability to grow on acetate as the sole carbon source, achieving an 89 % increase in growth rate. Genetic and transcriptomic analyses revealed key adaptations improving acetate uptake and metabolism via increased salt tolerance, boosted Pta/AckA pathway activity, and rewired quorum sensing. Further metabolic engineering and bioprocess optimization enabled the evolved strain to reach high cell densities and efficiently convert acetate into the bioplastic poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), with productivities up to 0.27 g/L/h and PHB accumulation reaching 45.66 % of cell biomass. These advances position V. natriegens as a highly promising microbial platform for sustainable, scalable, and cost-effective biomanufacturing using acetate as a green feedstock.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
