Overexpression of dethiobiotin synthase and biotin synthase in E. coli

What is it?

In order to alter the metabolic pathway of E. coli and tend to a more productive way of biotin, we enhance the metabolic pathway in the E. coli by increasing the expression of dethiobiotin synthase and biotin synthase. This plasmid is regulated by the T7 promoter, Lac operator, and T7 terminator.

Usage and Biology

Fg.1 pathway of increasing dethiobiotin synthase and biotin synthase

With IPTG, RNA ligase will converge with the T7 promoter, leading to mRNA production. Thus, protein and enzyme production will begin. The plasmid will only enhance the production of Dethiobiotin synthase and biotin synthase in E.coli achieving the goal of creating an ample amount of biotin.
