Design Notes

Original fhlA gene we cloned from E. coli JM109 has recognition site of PstⅠ.This illegal (inappropriate for biobrick) site was deleted by overlap extension PCR generating mutation (G to A).

Only one mutation (A to G, Thr to Ala) was found at 1906bp in this biobrick part(different from E. coli K-12 MG1655). This may have originated from cloning PCR. It is also possible that this is minor mutation of genome of JM109 we used.

E363G (A to G, glutamic acid to glycine) point mutation was generated by inverce PCR. This mutation increased H2 production under the conditions in the previous research (Viviana et.al.2009(1)). However, in our research (team UT-Tokyo 2012[http://2012.igem.org/Team:UT-Tokyo/Project/H2_E.coli]), this mutation is
