Evolutionary Engineering of Industrially Important Microbial Phenotypes

By: Uwe Sauer

The tremendous complexity of dynamic interactions in cellular systems often impedes practical applications of metabolic engineering that are largely based on available molecular or functional knowledge. In contrast, evolutionary engineering follows nature’s ‘engineering’ principle by variation and selection. Thus, it is a complementary strategy that offers compelling scientific and applied advantages for strain development and process optimization, provided a desired phenotype is amenable to direct or indirect selection. In addition to simple empirical strain development by random mutation...
