aldO
This sequence codes for the enzyme alditol oxidase from the organism Streptomyces coelicolor. It was designed as part of a novel selection method in which the enzyme converts glycerol into D-glycerate. This gene will work alongside PuDHT and katE to develop a new selection mechanism which involves the knockout of genes gldA, glpK and oxyR to make E. coli suceptible to death by exposure to low concentrations of glycerol. We will substitute the genes gldA and glpK with PuDHT and aldO, and transform the bacteria with a plasmid containing selection cassette katE. AldO will convert glycerol to peroxide and D-glyceric acid, katE will convert peroxide to water and oxygen and PuDHT will convert D-glyceric acid into pyruvate.
