This traditional directed evolution is an ex vivo method and is achieved using error-prone PCR (3). However, this process is labour-intensive as it includes multiple rounds of DNA extraction, mutation and transformation (3). Furthermore, it is random and by no means continuous, i.e. single mutations in a gene do not necessarily add up to a beneficial function. Therefore, a large number of clones need to be screened to identify a variant with the desired improvement. Targeted mutagenesis inside cells is advantageous because positive genetic selection eliminates defective mutants from the mutant pool while allowing the accumulation of mutations with a positive effect on the protein of interest and thereby dramatically increases the number of mutations that can be analyzed (4). </div></td><td class='diff-marker'> </td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>There are laboratory techniques to bypass the natural evolution constraints and accelerate the mutagenesis of a single gene.

This machinery includes the mentioned DNAP, a primase, a single-stranded DNA-binding protein (ssDNA-BP) and a RNA polymerase (RNAP). After transformation of the recombinant plasmid, containing the viral origin of replication, into the engineered ''E. coli'' strain (Fig. 1A + B) the T7 replication machinery can be induced and the mutation process of the GOI is initiated (Fig. 1C + D). The plasmid containing ''E. coli'' can be cultivated under selective conditions. This allows for simultaneous mutation and selection. For example, in our biomining assay, strains expressing mineral-binding peptides on their surface can be cultivated in the presence of the mineral that is intended to be isolated. Multiple rounds of mutation will eventually lead to peptides that enable efficient selection of the mineral.
