Our project is designed to help people improve their scalp microecology. After considering many comprehensive factors, we believe that E. coli Nissle 1917 is a safe, easy to operate and easy to absorb non-esterified fatty acids chassis. So all of these genes are in E. coli Nissle 1917.

The gene of TcAncCS1 is derived from Cocobroma.Xanthine can be converted to 3-methylxanthine (3-mX) by TcAncCS1 from Theobroma. TcCS2 from C. sinensis has a higher propensity to recognize 3-mX and can convert 3-mX to theobromine. We found that there are many ways to synthesis caffeine. The main caffeine biosynthetic pathway is a sequence consisting of xanthosine→7-methylxanthosine→7-methylxanthine→theobromine→caffeine. Genes encoding N-methyltransferases involved in three of these four reactions have been isolated and the molecular structure of N-methyltransferases investigated and a sequence consisting of xanthine →3-methylxanthine → theobromine → caffeine. In three of the four reactions, the gene encoding N-methyltransferase was involved.We chose the second way. CS stands for caffeine synthase, while the TcAncCS1 ancestral gene is derived from Cocobroma, the duplication of TcAncCS1 at node O leads to TcAncCS2, but the kinetic parameters of TcAncCS2 and its progeny enzymes predict that experts will be favored because the 3 methyl Xanthine does not compete for active site binding. We introduced this plasmid gene to facilitate the synthesis of caffeine in engineered strains, thereby regulating the balance of scalp oil.
