Abstract:Nature has provided a vast landscape of organisms through evolution, each with unique phenotypic traits adapted to varying environments. Nevertheless, host selection in biotechnological research is exceedingly dominated by empirical preference, where the endogenous physiology of the selected host is often not suited to the desired application. Considering that large parts of cellular regulation and metabolism remain obscure, empirical selection of a preferred model organism may lead to undue caveats in further… Show more
