| − | <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em>, bacterial strains with
| + | |
| − | similar or shared metabolic pathways to the one
| + | |
| − | above were chosen as potential candidates. The
| + | |
| − | final candidates were <em>Pseudomonas putida</em> and
| + | |
| − | <em>Staphylococcus epidermidis</em>. Although
| + | |
| − | <em>S. epidermidis</em> doesn’t share the same exact
| + | |
| − | pathway as <em>P. aeruginosa</em>, it is a
| + | |
| − | naturally-occurring skin microbiome and only need
| + | |
| − | two additional enzymes, RhlA and RhlB, to produce
| + | |
| − | mono-rhamnolipids. Genes rhlA and rhlB necessary
| + | |
| − | for mono-rhamnolipid synthesis were extracted from
| + | |
| − | the <em>P. aeruginosa P14</em> bacterial strain. These
| + | |
| − | genes were cloned into the modified plasmid pNJ3.1
| + | |
| − | using standard cloning methods for transformation
| + | |
| − | into the desired bacterial strains (Figure 2). The
| + | |
| − | plasmid pC194 and a shuttle vector strain,
| + | |
| − | <em>S. aureus</em> RN4220 (details on <em>S. epidermidis</em>
| + | |
| − | transformation are discussed in the experiments
| + | |
| − | and result section) were used for <em>S. epidermidis</em>
| + | |
| − | transformations with the same basic design (Figure
| + | |
| − | 3). The conversion of mono-rhamnolipids to
| + | |
| − | di-rhamnolipids requires the additional gene rhlC,
| + | |
| − | which was also extracted from P14 strain and
| + | |
| − | cloned into the same pNJ3.1 vector (Figure 4).
