Design Notes
The size of the whole device could be relatively large. The selection of promoter is important as it controls when the machine starts producing desaturases. The investment of producing 3 enzymes in a time could be a energy burden for E. coli.
Source
The amino acid sequences of desaturases genes are derived from Synechocystis sp., but codon optimised for expression in E. coli.
