DIRECTED EVOLUTION OF NOVEL BIOSYNTHETIC PATHWAYS - CONSTRUCTION OF ARANDOMLY MUTATED GENE LIBRARY IN AN ESCHERICHIA-COLI PROLINE AUXOTROPH AND SELECTION FOR GROWTH ON POTENTIAL PROLINE PRECURSORS
Jd. Sutherland et al., DIRECTED EVOLUTION OF NOVEL BIOSYNTHETIC PATHWAYS - CONSTRUCTION OF ARANDOMLY MUTATED GENE LIBRARY IN AN ESCHERICHIA-COLI PROLINE AUXOTROPH AND SELECTION FOR GROWTH ON POTENTIAL PROLINE PRECURSORS, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 4(21), 1994, pp. 2551-2554
By introducing a plasmid library into a highly mutagenising Escherichi
a coil proline auxotroph the evolutionary scenario of gene doubling an
d mutagenesis has been mimicked allowing for evolved growth on certain
potential proline precursors.
