This year`s BioBrick construction effort will be due to a re-designing and re-assembling of our last year surfactant BioBrick project and improving with a new concept in which we degrade hydrocarbons as well as using the surfactant BioBrick, that we will describe next.

''Pseudomonas aeruginosa'' species of bacteria produce the natural rhamnosyltransferase gene complex (RhlAB). This is the key enzyme responsible for transferring the rhamnose moiety to the b-hydroxyalkanoic acid moiety to biosynthesize rhamnolipid, which is a biomolecule with surfactant properties, but the natural RhlAB gene has illegal restriction sites that make it incompatible with the Assembly Standard Protocol 10, specifically the Pstl1 restriction sites.
