Our third Construct has the same promoter as the last two (Pbad promoter, BBa_K206000, and its repressor enzyme AraC, BBa_I13458) We decided to use an already reported part, membrane protein ompA and its signal peptide lpp (BBa_K103006) We decided to try out our extracellular invertase “Sacc” (BBa_K633003) cloned out of Zymmomonas Mobilis in our university. The importance behind this part is that it’s a monomeric enzyme, able to produce both glucose and fructose from sucrose, an important approach for high fructose syrups.
