Abstract:
Bioinoculants are eco-friendly microorganisms, and their products are utilized for improving the potential of soil and fulfill the nutrients requirement for the host plant. The agricultural yield has increased due to the use of bioinoculants over chemical-based fertilizers, and thus it generates interest in understanding the innovation process by various methods. By gene-editing tool, the desired gene product can be changed for engineered microbial inoculants. We have also described various modern biotechnological tools like constraint-based modeling, OptKnock, flux balance analysis and modeling of the biological network for enhancing the bioinoculant capability. These fluxes give the fascinating perception of the metabolic network in the absence of comprehensive kinetic information. These tools also help in the stimulation of the metabolic networks by incorporation of enzyme-encoding genes. The present review explains the use of systems biology and gene-editing tools for improving the capability of bioinoculants. Moreover, this review also emphasizes on the challenges and future perspective of systems biology and its multidisciplinary facets.
