Outline a procedure for creating a "knockout" microbe.
What will be an ideal response?
Many variations are possible. The answer should include (1) what organism is used as the source of DNA and how the desired DNA sequence is obtained, (2) the approach to modifying the gene, (3) the method of introduction of the modification into cells, and (4) how recombinant cells are identified. Since the question states a goal of a recombinant product, an expression vector should be specified. A variety of tools and techniques will be involved in a full answer. An excellent answer will include use of the CRISPR-Cas9 system.
