Abstract

See full text

The invention provides methods of screening a microbial host cell for a property of interest in a microfluidic device, the method comprising the steps of: a) transforming a d-alanine racemase-deficient microbial host cell with a polynucleotide construct comprising: i) one or more polynucleotide region providing the property of interest when present in the host cell, and ii) at least one polynucleotide region complementing the d-alanine racemase deficiency when present in the host cell; and b) screening the transformed host cell for the property of interest in the microfluidic device in the absence of externally provided d-alanine.
