Part:BBa_K5246047
H.Baltica hfsE-hfsG-hfsH Part of the polysaccharide tetrad assembly system
Introduction
Vilnius-Lithuania iGEM 2024 project Synhesion aspires to create biodegradable and environmentally friendly adhesives. We were inspired by bacteria, which naturally produce adhesives made from polysaccharides. Two bacteria from aquatic environments - C. crescentus and H. baltica - harness 12 protein synthesis pathways to produce sugars, anchoring them to the surfaces. We aimed to transfer the polysaccharide synthesis pathway to industrially used E. coli bacteria to produce adhesives. Our team concomitantly focused on creating a novel E. coli strain for more efficient production of adhesives.
This is a part of the complete holdfast tetrad assembly system BBa_K5246049 used in Vilnius-Lithuania iGEM 2024 project "Synhesion" https://2024.igem.wiki/vilnius-lithuania/. This part can also be used separately for glycolipids consisting of glucose, mannosaminuronic acid, and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine synthesis, but this feature needs more detailed characterization.
