Letter to the Editor: Genetic Editing of Secretory Pathway of Penicillium Chrysogenum After Observation of Increased Secretory Rates in an Increased Stress Environment (Microgravity), a Research Proposal by High School Students in Dubai

Abstract

In this study, we aim to amplify the secretory pathway of Penicillium Chrysogenum within the ISS or similar simulated microgravity using the miniPCR and/or RTQ-PCR and then optimizing Penicillium Chrysogenum function using CRISPR cas-9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats), a new technology in the genetics which can help in gene alteration for better drug production. The secretory pathway of Penicillium Chrysogenum is controlled by genes pcbAB , pcbC and penDE
