Caffeine demethylation pathway

Synthetic operon consisting of methylxanthine N-demethylases: NdmA,NdmB, NdmC, and associated reductase NdmD from Psuedomonas putida CBB5. Also includes gst9 from Janthinobacterium sp. Marseille which is required for NdmC functionality. Constitutive expression is driven by promoter BBa_J23100.

Enables Escherichia coli cells to degrade caffeine (1,3,7-Methylxanthine) and related methylxanthines to xanthine.
