Computational design of auxotrophy-dependent microbial biosensors for combinatorial metabolic engineering experiments.

Combinatorial approaches in metabolic engineering work by generating genetic diversity in a microbial population followed by screening for strains with improved phenotypes. One of the most common goals in this field is the generation of a high rate chemical producing strain. A major hurdle with this...
