Description
A construct created to degraded TNT and nitroglycerine.
The construct contains the coding sequence for XenB (BBa_K1398000), an enzyme with the capability to degrade nitro- groups in chemicals.
The construct also contains an inducible promoter (BBa_R0010), a strong RBS (BBa_B0034) and a double terminator (BBa_B0010).
The protein has been codon-optimised for expression in E. coli.
Notes
This construct was created to allow for the over-expression of XenB, so it contains high expression regulatory sequences. A lactose inducible promoter has been used to give control over expression.
Source
The original source of XenB was Pseudomonas putida. The regulatory sequences were acquired from the iGEM repository.
