Synthetic life: How to create new organisms from the computer to its industrial scaling

Francisco Cruz Rodríguez

E

scherichia

coli are a very organism important at

the biotechnological level due to its many relevant

physiological characteristics In addition to its fermentative

metabolism gives it a unique potential for industrial

biocatalysis. The application of recombinant DNA methods

for the expression of heterologous genes in

E. coli

can

improve the production of Metabolites and proteins of

industrial interest, allowing the introduction of native or

non-native metabolic pathways, for the production of a

wide range of chemical products. Metabolic engineering

has been in recent years responsible for providing strains

producers, however, in some cases; metabolic engineering

fails to supply good production strains. In recent decades,

systems biology and synthetic biology, have allowed us to

model and design organisms (synthetic organism) whose

phenotypes are evaluated from the computer and not

through trial and error (experimentally speaking, as it

comes doing with traditional techniques and methods)

due to the conception of what is known as Genomic Scale

Metabolic Models (Genome-scale metabolic models,

GEMs), which is the in silico representation, of all the

biochemical reactions that occur in an organism, coding

detailed and global information (genomic) on an organism

in a computational framework, with the objective of

predicting the cellular behavior of a given genotype, under

certain restrictions (rate of growth, production yield of the

product, carbon source, etc.). Offering a more rational,

systematic design. Modeling gen-protein in the computer

and genotype-phenotype, you can design production

strains in a more smart and efficient accelerating both the

yield and the industrial scaling of the production of the

metabolites synthesized by these synthetic organisms.
