fucO

The gene fucO, which codes for glycolaldehyde reductase, is one of the genes required for E. coli to utilize ethylene glycol as a food source. The coding sequence is put behind a strong biofab promoter and RBS. This part should be used with aldA for the desired effect.

Usage and Biology

This part was characterized by [http://2012.igem.org/Team:Washington Washington 2012] using the turbidostat. MG1655 cells were cotransformed with fucO and aldA, the assay is described on the [http://2012.igem.org/Team:Washington/Protocols/EG_Assay wiki] and some of the data is shown below.

M9 30 mM ethylene glycol media injected into the culture vessel every minute to maintain the arbitrary optical density of 0.3.
Optical density measurements of E. coli transformed with fucO pGA3K3 + aldA pGA1C3 within the turbidostat growing on M9 30 mM ethylene glycol media.
