Exponential phase dependent wintergreen odor generator

The exponential phase dependent wintergreen odor generator (BBa_J45181) catalyzes the conversion of the precursor salicylic acid to the odor methyl salicylate that has a wintergreen smell. The biosynthetic device is composed of two transcriptional devices: a exponential phase transcription source (BBa_J45994) and an odor enzyme generator (BBa_J45119). Odor enzyme generators take as input a transcriptional signal and produce as output an enzyme that catalyzes production of an odor from a chemical precursor.
