The pathway of production of the vitamin B12 is huge in terms of genetic material needed for the production of all the enzymes and such cloning is not likely to works during the igem time scale. This is why we tried o find a strain which is already used in the industry to produce B12.<br> | The pathway of production of the vitamin B12 is huge in terms of genetic material needed for the production of all the enzymes and such cloning is not likely to works during the igem time scale.
