Design Notes

SacC gene can enhance the ability of Escherichia coli to utilize environmental sucrose. Heterologous expression of SacC aims to improve the utilization of sucrose in the medium by E. coli responsible for the synthetic production of biologics.[1] At the same time, the introduction of SacC will cause E. coli to produce a large amount of organic acids, which is exactly the organic carbon source preferred by nitrogen-fixing bacteria (A.caul). The intersection of nutritional structures will help the entire symbiotic system to be more stable and efficient.

Source

The SacC gene was originally found in the Zymomonas mobilis genome. We obtain gene fragments through commercial synthesis companies.
