Disclosing the bacterial domain for industrial biotechnology applications: Development of genetic circuitry for stable and controlled expression across bacteria Ghent University
The lack of extensive and standardised genetic parts and tools to control gene expression and as
such to predictably engineer species from all over the bacterial domain is a major bottleneck for
industrial biotechnology (IB). As a result, when selecting the preferred production host,
biotechnological engineers generally restrict themselves to well-known workhorses, such as E. coli
and S. cerevisiae. However, the choice ...
