Stage 3 : Strategy


First, we decided to pursue a computer-based approach using databases such that NCBI. We compared FAS I enzyme function for different organisms (mammals and bacteria). We therefore managed to show a high-level of similarity between the domains of the FAS I.


Second, we wanted to analyze these collected data to design a more evolved structure of the operon gene PHA. This is based on the hypothesis that a multi-functional enzyme would increase the yield of lipid production by E.coli.
