Description
This system designed by the MIT 2006 iGEM team and generates mint smell by biosynthesizing salicylic acid from chassis-produced metabolites (chorismate) and then converts salicylic acid into methyl salicylate (wintergreen scent).
Notes
We recommend use of strain BBa_J45999 as it does not produce indole. Indole is responsible for the foul smell of wt e.coli, and masks the wintergreen scent produced by J45600.

This system is composed of devices J45120 and J45320.
