Description
The RhlAB operon codes for mono-rhamnolipid, a virulence factor naturally found in the Pseudomonas Aeruginosa. Our part contains the RhlA and RhlB genes within the operon, coding for the final two enzymes in the mono-rhamnolipid production pathway. Rhamnolipids, consisting of a rhamnose sugar attached to one or multiple lipid side chains, has many uses and has been highlighted by previous iGEM teams as a biosurfactant capable of aiding oil recovery. Another recently shown novel use of rhamnolipids is its mosquito repellent properties.
