IaaM - tryptophan-2-mono-oxygenase

IAA tryptophan monooxygenase (IaaM) catalyzes the oxidative carboxylation of L-tryptophan to indole-3-acetamide which acts as an intermediate to the production of indole-3-acetic acid in the IAM pathway.[1] There are several different pathways to produce indole-3-acetic acid. [2] We are using genes from the IAM pathway (IaaM and IaaH) of the plant pathogen, Psuedomonas savastanoi to produce indole-3-acetic acid in E. coli </p>

tryptophan --> indole acetamide --> indole-3-acetic acid
