ALDH generator (low expression)

ALDH, an aldehyde deyhydrogenase that facilitates the third step in alkane degradation, from n-alkanals to n-alkanoic acids, which can then be further degraded through β-oxidation

The [http://2010.igem.org/Team:TU_Delft#page=Project/alkane-degradation characterization of BBa_K398029] has been described on the TU Delft iGEM Team 2010 wiki.

Usage and Biology

Aldehyde dehydrogenase from the thermophile Geobacillus thermoleovorans B23. It functions as an octamer, requiring NAD+ as coenzyme. The optimum condition for activity lies at temperatures between 50 and 55 degrees celsius and and a pH of 10. This part also works fine at 37º C.

This part was characterized in the plasmid pSB1A2. You can see our original plasmid map below.

Comparison of ALDH activities in the different cell extracts tested in our study.
