    <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).
