For this device we characterized two new parts, and was made up of five parts. We used an arabinose induced promoter P<sub>BAD</sub> (<a href="http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K206000"> BBa_K206000</a>) and its repressor protein araC (<a href="http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I13458">BBa_I13458 </a>), followed next by one of our first part <a href="http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K633002">BBa_K633002</a>, made out of ribosome binding site (<a href="http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_B0034">BBa_B0034 </a>) and our signal peptide phoA and enzyme cellulase. Our second part <a href="http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K6330014">BBa_K6330014</a>, the extracellular expressing complex made out of a linker followed by our autotransporter membrane protein estA. |

- | Our construction begins with the signal peptide from an <i>E. coli</i> phosphatase, which is the first recognizable segment from our sequence and directs the polypeptide chain to the periplasm, followed by our membrane protein estA, formerly used to transport and maintain attached lipase outside gram negative bacteria.

Since this construct has its C-terminus exported outside the cell we needed to begin our 5’ sequence with our exterior domain, our modified cellulase, which has a modified hystidil residue on its active site giving it a augmenting its activity in a 200%. |
