Arabinose inducible MetA coding gene

This part contains an arabinose inducible (Pbad) Met A coding gene. Upon induction with arabinose, MetA is expressed for for the biosynthesis of de novo methionine. It encodes for the MetA enzyme which transfers a succinyl group from succinyl-CoA to homoserine, forming O-succinyl-L-homoserine, a precursor of methionine. This construct can be used to induce growth in Met- auxotrophs.
