I am working on the cell factory approach for the production of certain oligosaccharides. I am looking for Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (abbreviated as EcN) to clone some genes for this work. I could not find it in any microbial culture collections in India. If anybody could provide me with this strain that will be a great help. I am a third-year Ph.D. student registered at Punjab University and currently working in Gujarat. Many thanks in advance.
