Mutagenesis and Genetic Engineering
We apply mutagenesis and genetic engineering strategies to improve enzymes and microbial strains for large-scale production.
At Fornia BioSolutions, we employ advanced genetic engineering techniques to drive enzyme directed evolution. Enzyme evolution through genetic engineering involves creating and selecting new proteins with desired traits, significantly enhancing their functionality and stability. This process is crucial for developing enzymes and proteins that are more efficient and robust than their natural counterparts.
Addition to enzyme evolution, we are also successfully applying appropriate mutagenesis strategies to improve various strains. Microorganisms can generate new genetic characteristics by mutagenesis and/or genetic engineering. Mutagenesis is known to be a very powerful tool when it comes to altering both the genotype and phenotype of microorganisms. During the mutagenesis process, a strain is modified either by spontaneous mutations or intentionally induced mutations.
For large-scale production, the targeted molecule needs to be produced at levels hundreds-to-thousands-times higher than those naturally produced. At Fornia BioSolutions, we are genetically engineering prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes for large-scale production to achieve three major goals: 1) produce in abundance the desired wild-type or engineered enzymes, 2) increase the overall protein titer, and 3) remove competing or adverse genes.
