Description
The genes responsible for producing mono-rhamnolipids (biosurfactant) are called RhlA and RhlB. The protein encoded by these two genes make up the subunits of rhamnosyltransferase I. The RhlA gene Ba_K1688002) codes for a 3-(hydroxyalkanoyloxy) alkanoic acid (HAA) fatty acid tail and the RhlB (BBa_K1688003) connects this tail to a rhamnose molecule making a mono-rhamnolipid. The biobrick BBa_K1688000 is a composite part of a promotor BBa_J23101 and BBa_K1688001 which transcribes the genes RhlA and RhlB into mRNA which eventually leads to translation of proteins that induce mono-rhamnolipid production.
