Design Notes
The sequence of the GAT-enzyme was ordered from Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT). We used self designed primers to create the fitting ends and inserted the so prepared part as template into the PstI and EcoRI digested pSB1C3 backbone.
Source
This part was first described in: Castle et. al. paper (2004). We took this paper as base for the experimental process under the hypothesis that GAT could potentially be inserted into Bacillus subtilis to enable the bacteria to inactivate glyphosate.
