Description
This construct codes for an enzyme called cyanide hydratase from A. niger, which catalyses the reaction from cyanide to formamide. This enzyme will be used once gold has been completely recovered from the media in order to convert cyanide into a less toxic compound for easier disposal.
Notes
The coding sequence is optimized for its expression in C. violaceum.
Source
The cyanide hydratase gene sequence comes from A. niger's genome.
