fiatluxC is made to be used with fiatluxD and fiatluxE. It codes for a subpart fatty acid reductase. With the subparts coding from fiatluxD and fiatluxE, they form a complex that recycles fatty acids to fatty aldehydes. Fatty aldehydes will be used as a substrat for the luciferase protein. The systeme fiatluxC/fiatluxD/fiatluxE is made to be used with fiatluxA and fiatluxB, gathered in the fiatluxCDABE operon. Fiatlux genes come from ilux genes (C, D, A, B, E). They were modified to remove every Igem restriction site (EcoR1, Xba1, Spe1 and Pst1) included in genes. They were also adapted to include the biobrick format. The ilux operon was born from a mutated natural luminescence operon present in the bacteria P.luminescens: the lux operon. These mutations were error-prone PCR induced according to Gregor et al.’s study in 2018 (Gregor et al. 2018). The aim was to create a system of genes that produced more light.
