Abstract

This review discusses metabolic engineering research with an emphasis on evolutionary (whole cell and protein) engineering, which is an inverse metabolic engineering approach. For each section on metabolic, inverse metabolic and evolutionary engineering research, a general review of the major global studies in the literature is made and research examples from Turkey are given and discussed. It is expected that with the rapid development in systems biology and the novel powerful analytical technologies to identify the genetic basis of cellular phenotypes, metabolic and evolutionary engineering research will become widespread and increasingly important in Turkey, following global scientific trends.
