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.

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. You can see our original plasmid map below.

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

Characterization

[http://2010.igem.org/Team:TU_Delft#page=Project/alkane-degradation/results TU Delft 2010 results] suggest that the cell extracts obtained from the recombinant strain E. coli 029A, which expresses this part, have a dodecanal dehydrogenase activity twice as high as the control strain (E. coli with the empty plasmid pSB1A2). This activity is equivalent to 33.98% of the cell extract of Pseudomonas putida growing on octane as sole carbon source.

Comparison of ALDH activities in the different strains tested in this study
