Creation of New Metabolic Pathways or Improvement of Existing Metabolic Enzymes by In Vivo Evolution in Escherichia coli


This paper sequentially details how to design and construct a recombinant E. coli to create new metabolic pathways of new enzymes using in vivo evolution. It is based on the principles of in vivo directed evolution and rational design of a microorganism. This is achieved by placing an organism in a novel environment. Only a few mutations were observed under the metabolic pressure and the main mutations were found to occur in the coding or promoter region.
