Abstract

In this study, we aim to amplify the secretory pathway of Penicillium Chrysogenum within the ISS or similar simulated microgravity using the miniPCR and/or RTQ-PCR and then optimizing Penicillium Chrysogenum function using CRISPR cas-9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats), a new technology in the genetics which can help in gene alteration for better drug production. The secretory pathway of Penicillium Chrysogenum is controlled by genes pcbAB , pcbC and penDE
