Session 17: Adaptive evolution and genome stability in strain development
Tuesday, July 26, 2016: 1:00 PM-4:30 PM
Bayside B/C, 4th Fl (Sheraton New Orleans)
Conveners:
Noel Fong - Nucelis, Inc. and Katy C. Kao - Texas A&M
Adaptive evolution is a powerful tool harnessing the cell's abilities to optimize its survival in a new environment, complementing rational approaches in strain development. This session will focus on recent advances in inverse strain engineering using adaptive laboratory evolution combined with high-throughput technologies and the development of novel tools.  In addition, strategies will be presented on preventing adaptive evolution during long-term fermentations to improve strain stability.
