Quick Biochemistry Basics | Auxotroph and discovery of metabolic pathway. @quickbiochemistrybasics | Uploaded 6 days ago | Updated 1 day ago
Biochemistry is all about study of metabolic pathways. Have you ever wondered how metabolic pathways are discovered. This video describes, how auxotrophs can be used to find intermediates of a metabolic pathway.
Collecting similar auxotrophs that requires specific metabolite for its growth and growing them side by side on a plate, is one of the classical method to find metabolic pathway.
