Background

Ferulic acid is best utilized as a precursor for synthesis of aromatic compounds such as vanillin, which involves 2 enzymes: the conversion of ferulic acid to feruloyl-CoA by feruloyl-CoA synthetase (Fcs) enzymes and the conversion of feruloyl-CoA into vanillin by enoyl-CoA hydratase/aldolase (Ech) enzymes. <a href="https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1129001">BBa_K1129001</a> is a feruloyl-CoA-synthetase (fcs) from Pseudomonas putida KT2440 which converts ferrulic acid to feruloyl CoA.

Figure 1 Compound generation identification by GC-MS. Chromatograms(left) and mass spectra(Right) for select peaks are shown. Structures represent predictions based on library matching or comparison to standards. Controls represent plasmids missing the gene of interest. A) Internal control using vanillin(10.486). B) Conversion of Ferulic acid to vanillin acid by constitutive expressed Fcs and Ech through the Feuroyl CoA intermediate, not shown. C) Conversion of Ferulic acid to vanillin acid by Arabinose inducible expressed Fcs and Ech through the Feuroyl CoA intermediate, not shown.
