Design Notes

When ligated downstream of BBa_K338003, the completed construct was designed to express all three PHA synthase genes required to make PHB oligomers from soybean oil. The three genes would be transcribed polycistronically on a single mRNA transcript under the IPTG-inducible control of the BBa_K215000 promoter. Naturally, each gene is preceded by a standard RBS (BBa_B0034) and the transcript finishes with a strong terminator (BBa_B0015), for a total size of about 3500bp.

Note that these three genes should only cause the production of PHB oligomers in cells, not hardened plastic. A crosslinking agent is required to link the oligomers and form the final plastic product. Over-expression of the phaC1 gene could cause some crosslinking, but this has not been experimentally verified.
