Therefore, our idea is to switch the natural glucose specificity of <i>B. subtilis</i> by a NAG specificity. To achieve this, we need to change the extracellular domain of McpA, the domain responsible for the specificity, by the extracellular domain of VCD.

The whole sequence has been designed <i>in silico</i> and codon optimized for the transcription in <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> before its synthesis.</p>
