dTomato fluoresence protein Codon Optimized for E coli

This part encodes a protein called dTomato, which is a red fluorescence protein. It forms a dimer and has a molecular weight of around 27.0 kDa. This protein originates from a species called Discosoma [1].

To enhance its performance for our project, we used IDT codon optimization tools to optimize the sequence. We incorporated this optimized sequence into two composite parts. One part served as a reporter gene for detecting formaldehyde with pFrmR formaldehyde sensing promoter (BBa_K4813003), while the other part (BBa_K4813005) acted as a positive control, where the expression of dTomato was driven by a strong constitutive promoter (BBa_J23100).
