Constitutive folB expression construct

This is the folate synthesis gene folB, one of five genes involved in the folate synthesis operon. In this construct, folB has been inserted behind the strong promoter J23100, the strong RBS B0034, and in front of the double terminator B0015. The vector is the inducible copy plasmid pSB2K3, which can be induced to high copy via IPTG.

The purpose of this construct is to test the effects of FolB (dihydroneopterin aldolase) overexpression on total folate production in Escherichia coli, with the goal of increasing total folate production.


Usage and Biology

Using the Caltech iGEM [http://2008.igem.org/Team:Caltech/Protocols/Folate_assay microbiological folate assay], K137053 in pSB2K3 in DH10B produced the following results:
