Riboflavin synthesis gene cluster from s. oneidensis under control of T7 promoter and strong RBS

This gene cluster consists of four different genes that form a single operon.

Usage and Biology

[http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riboflavin Riboflavin], or Vitamin B2 is a redox-active substance that plays an essential role in living cells. Secreted into the medium, it can be effectively used by some bacteria for electron transfer. Presence of riboflavin in anaerobic cultures leads to higher current flow in a microbial fuel cell, which made riboflavin overproduction a suitable target for optimisation of our MFC.
We have shown that cloning of the riboflavin cluster from a metal-reducing bacterium Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 in E. coli is sufficient to achieve significant riboflavin overproduction detectable both in supernatant and in cells.
