CrtEBI under pBad promoter

This Biobrick is created by putting enzyme cassette CrtEBI (with individual rbs) of Part BBa_K274100 under arabinose-induced promoter I0500.

Enzyme cassette CrtEBI (with individual rbs) of Part BBa_K274100 converts colourless farnesyl pyrophosphate to red lycopene (via intermediates geranylgeranyl pyroiphosphate and phytoene).

Amount of lycopene produced can be measured by photospectrometer with absorbance at 475nm (lycopene extraction using acetone).
