Strain Development
DIREVO can develop microbial strains at several levels based on the robotic platform. Special features of the DIREVO approach are to work with
- Screenings without a positive selection
- Technologies applicable also to anaerobic organisms
- Classical strain development
- Recombination of traits
Examples of optimization targets for strains:
- Changing phenotype
- Modified Enzyme levels
- New Enzymes
- Adaptation to growth conditions
- Increasing productivity of metabolites
- Combining metabolic engineering and directed evolution for metabolite production.
