Synthetic Metabolic Pathways

This volume outlines key steps associated with the design, building, and testing of synthetic metabolic pathways   for optimal cell factory performance and robustness, and illustrates how data-driven learning from these steps can be used for rational cost-effective engineering of cell factories with improved performance. Chapters are divided into four sections focusing on the four steps of the iterative design-build-test-learn cycle related to modern cell factory engineering. Written in the highly successful  Methods in Molecular Biology  series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and practical,  Synthetic Metabolic Pathways: Methods and Protocols  aims to ensure successful results in the further study of this vital field.
