Description
Without the production of proline from its surrounding environment, A. tumefaciens has two processes allowing for the biosynthetic creation of proline. Our research looks at the duplicity of these processes by creating a bacterial mutant using CRISPR as genetic editing tool. We hope to successfully create a mutant that has knocked out one of the two proC genes within A. tumefaciens to be able to further investigate why this species has retained two replicate genes.
