Development of a CRISPR-based tool for localized random mutagenesis of biosynthetic pathways KU Leuven
Yeast is one of the most frequently used microbes in today’s biotechnology and fermentation industry. But, despite its domestication and adaptation to man-made environments, new applications (such as the production of bioethanol or high-value chemicals) confront it with new challenges and unfamiliar, harsh environments. This leaves many opportunities to generate new, superior variants optimized for specific applications. Current approaches ...
