Problems solved by technology

[0010] Traditional microbial strain improvement programs are not only inefficient, but the process also increases the deleterious mutagenic load of industrial strains
Mutation accumulation in industrial strains subjected to these types of procedures can become evident and may lead to an eventual stagnation in the rate of performance improvement

example 1

[0617] Example 1: Demonstration of HTP transformation and SNP library creation of coryneform bacteria

[0618] This example illustrates an embodiment of the HTP genetic engineering method of the present invention. Host cells are transformed with multiple SNP sequences of different sizes, all targeting different regions of the genome. The results demonstrate that the method of the present invention is capable of producing any kind of rapid genetic change across the entire genome of the host cell.

[0619] A. Cloning of Transformation Vectors

[0620] A variety of SNPs were randomly selected from Corynebacterium glutamicum (ATCC21300) and cloned into a Corynebacterium cloning vector using yeast homologous recombination cloning technology to assemble the vector, wherein each SNP is flanked by a direct repeat region, as described above in "Assembly / Cloning of custom plastids" section and as described in image 3 described in.

[0642] Example 2: HTP Genome Engineering - Construction of SNP Libraries to Repair / Improve Industrial Microbial Strains

[0643] This example illustrates several aspects of the SNP exchange library in the HTP strain improvement program of the present invention. In particular, the examples illustrate several conceived approaches to rehabilitate currently existing industrial strains. This example describes up-swing and down-swing approaches to explore the phenotypic solution space arising from multiple genetic differences that may exist between "basic", "intermediate" and industrial strains.

[0644] A. Identification of SNPs in Diversity Pools

[0645] An exemplary strain improvement program using the methods of the invention is performed on an industrial microorganism strain (referred to herein as "C"). The diversity pool strains used in this procedure are indicated by A, B and C. Strain A represents the original production host strain prior to any mutagenesis. Strain C re...

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a HTP microbial genomic engineering platform that is computationally driven and integrates molecular biology automation and advanced machine learning protocols. This integrative platform utilizes a suite of HTP molecular tool sets to create HTP genetic design libraries which are derived from inter alia scientific insight and iterative pattern recognition. The HTP genomic engineering platform described herein is microbial strain host agnostic and therefore can be implemented across taxa. Furthermore the disclosed platform can be implemented to modulate or improveany microbial host parameter of interest.
