D-xylonic acid producing operon

D-Xylose is a monosaccharide belonging to the aldopentose family. It was recently shown that the D-xylose dehydrogenase xylB from Caulobacter crescentus can convert D-xylose to D-xylonolactone. This can react spontaneously or through the catalysation of xylC to D-xylonic acid. In E. coli D-xylonic acid can be further metabolized to ethyleneglycol.(1)

    • Usage

    This part is a composite of two coding genes with strong RBS (BBa_B0034). The transcription is controlled by a T7 promotor (BBa_I719005).
