Tag Archives | Recombinant DNA Technology in Rumen Bacteria

Genetic modification of rumen bacteria by using rDNA technology may improve the rate or extent of lignocellulolysis in the animal. The task of developing effective rDNA technology in rumen bacteria, particularly for improving lignocellulose digestion is complex. After the rate limiting steps have been defined, it is necessary to identify and clone suitable heterologous genes for insertion into a rumen [...]
