+ | Time interval for treatment was set every 1 hour from 1 hour to 4 hours. A: ''E. coli'' JM109 (WT) + hexane; B: ''E. coli'' JM109 (''marA'') + hexane; C: ''E. coli'' JM109 (WT) + 0.5 % geraniol solution; D: ''E. coli'' JM109 (''marA'') + 0.5 % geraniol solution. As shown in Figs. 2 A and B, treatment with hexane of ''E. coli'' JM109 (WT) and of ''E. coli'' JM109 (''marA'') showed similar colony numbers during these treatment intervals to those of time zero. This result suggests that hexane at this concentration and duration of time for 4hours did not affect both cell growth. In contrast, treatment with geraniol of ''E. coli'' JM109 (WT) and of ''E. coli'' JM109 (''marA'') showed toxicities to both strains (Figs. 3 B, C and D). If we watch the colony numbers carefully, ''E. coli'' JM109 (''marA'') had more than ''E. coli'' JM109 (WT) during these treatment intervals ((Figs. 3 C and D). These results demonstrate that toxicity of the geraniol was less to the strain ''E. coli'' JM109 (''marA'') than the strain ''E. coli'' JM109 (WT). | ||

MarA
The activator of AcrAB-TolC multidrug efflux pump exports some terpenes
We improved the characterization of a previously existing BioBrick Part BBa_K1230000 and submitted this improved BioBrick marA device as BBa_K1653006 to iGEM Registry.
In exsisting part's information of marA, it gives E. coli resistance against kanamycin only.
In this year, we confilmed that overepressing of marA gives E. coli resistance against geraniol as one of the terpene and decrease its intracellular concentration. This information is very beneficial for other iGEMers to production of toxic organic substances that are produced using bacteria.

The following graphs show that overexpressing marA gives resistance against geraniol and decrease intracelluler geraniol concentration.
