<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>
<br>
One of the goals of iGEM SCUT-China-A is to use synthetic biology tools to obtain <i>Halomonas</i> strains that can produce tyrian purple. We chose to introduce four enzymes that is either necessary or beneficial to the production of tyrian purple. There were stth,fre,tnaA and fmo. Because both Stth and TnaA can utilize tryptophan, and tryptophan has a stronger preference for TnaA than for Stth, we introduced the <b>thermalsensitive bio-switch</b> that we built for <i>Halomonas TD</i> to <b>separate the expression</b> of the two enzymes to increase yield.
<br>
<br>
<h2>Usage and Biology</h2>
<p>
<br>
This is a composite part used to convert 6-Br-Trp to 6-Br-indole and further to Tyrian Purple. TnaA is a kind of tryptophanase and this protein catalyzes the conversion of 6-Br-Trp into 6-bromoindole (6-Br-indole). MaFMO is a kind of flavin-containing monooxygenase and the protein catalyzes the conversion 6-Br-indole into 6,6'-dibromoindigo (6BrIG, also known as Tyrian purple). They are fused together with the common rigid linker EAAAKEAAAK. Through introducing thermalsensitive bio-switch into the synthesis pathway of Tyrian purple, we could <b>use temperature to separate the expression of stth and tnaA</b>, thus improve the production of 6-Br-Trp and then the Tyrian purple. Considering its importance and expression intensity, we selected the Mmp1 inducible promoter and set a series of IPTG concentrations during fermentation to induce the most suitable expression intensity for this step.

Other variables were the amount of IPTG and tryptophan added. We set two gradients for each of the two variables: IPTG(mg/L)=2,5 and tryptophan(g/L)=0.4,0.8.
<br>
At 16,24,32h, we took a batch of samples and switched the temperature to 37℃, in case to find a better timing to switch temperature through the yield of 6-Br-Trp.
