fucO

The gene fucO, which codes for glycolaldehyde reductase, is one of the genes required for E. coli to utilize ethylene glycol as a food source. The coding sequence is put behind a strong biofab promoter and RBS. This part should be used with aldA for the desired effect.

Usage and Biology

This part was characterized by [http://2012.igem.org/Team:Washington Washington 2012] using the turbidostat. MG1655 cells were cotransformed with fucO and aldA, the assay is described on the [http://2012.igem.org/Team:Washington/Protocols/EG_Assay wiki] and the data is also presented on the [http://2012.igem.org/Team:Washington/Plastics#Results wiki].
