Aldehyde Decarbonylase (ADC) - Synechococcus elongatus PCC7942
This part encodes an enzyme that removes the carbonyl group (C=O) from a fatty aldehyde, yielding an alkane one carbon shorter than the original aldehyde and a molecule of formate. Works together with Acyl-ACP Reductase to produce odd chain length alkanes.
Usage and Biology
When AAR and ADC are co-expressed, they produce odd chain length alkanes from the cell's fatty acid biosynthetic pathway. Alkane production is enhanced when growing expression strains using the growth conditions developed by the [http://2011.igem.org/Team:Washington 2011 University of Washington iGEM Team].
