E. coli JM109 and E. coli JM109 (marA) were spotted on LBGMg agar plates in serial ten-fold dilutions (10⁻¹~10⁻⁵), overlaid with geraniol solutions, and incubated at 30°C for 24 h. This figure shows that E. coli JM109 (marA) cells that overexpress the marA product is more survived on geraniol overlay plates than the counterpart control E. coli JM109 wild type cells. | E. coli JM109 and E. coli JM109 (marA) were spotted on LBGMg agar plates in serial ten-fold dilutions (10⁻¹~10⁻⁵), overlaid with geraniol solutions, and incubated at 30°C for 24 h.

MarA
The activator of AcrAB-TolC multidrug efflux pump exports some terpenes
We improved the characterization of a previously existing BioBrick Part BBa_K1230000 and submitted this improved BioBrick marA device as BBa_K1653006 to iGEM Registry.
In exsisting part's information of marA, it gives E. coli resistance against kanamycin only.
In this year, we confilmed that overepressing of marA gives E. coli resistance against geraniol as one of the terpene and decrease its intracellular concentration. This information is very beneficial for other iGEMers to production of toxic organic substances that are produced using bacteria.

Export geraniol
The following graphs show that overexpressing marA gives resistance against geraniol and decrease intracelluler geraniol concentration.

In this figure, intracellular content of geraniol was less in the strain E. coli JM109 (marA) than the strain E. coli JM109 (WT). The concentrations of intracellular geraniol from E. coli JM109 (marA) was 42.9 μg/ml, which was 40% lower than that from of E. coli JM109 (WT), 72.2 μg/ml. This figure is suggesting that internalized geraniol could be more efficiently exported through AcrAB-TolC efflux pump following the presumed activation of this gene by introducing the activator marA gene.
Resistance
The following graphs show that overexpressing marA gives resistance against geraniol and decrease intracelluler geraniol concentration.
