Paris Bettencourt 2014 Odor Palette

ODOR WHEEL.png

Our odor palette is composed of BioBricks containing codon-optimized sequences of enzymes known to catalyze reactions that yield volatile compounds with distinctive smells.

We included odors with different tonalities in order to explore the aromas resulting from combinations of smelly units in E. coli. The tonality of each smell is categorized as butter, balminess, citrus, non-citrus fruit and herbal. These cover half of the main odor categories perceivable to human beings.

Each part has a standardized architecture consisting on a constitutive promoter and a functional RBS. The palette could be used as an educational tool to introduce synthetic biology concepts to the general public.
