Introduction Aims Part3 Part4 Part5

Introduction

The aim of this sub-project is to produce Bacillus subtilis, which lacks the capability of producing isovaleric acid and hence the bad foot odor.

Motivation

We hypothesize that bad foot odor could be eradicated by perturbing the Leucine degradation pathway.
We choose leucine dehydrogenase and iso-valeryl coA to perturb the leucine degradation pathway. Our goal here is to have two different strategies to inhibit isovaleric acid production. our first strategy focus on producing B.subtilis which will not be capable of producing leucine, so that it has to utilize all the leucine it could get from the sweat for its own survival rather than the production of isovaleric acid. Our second strategy focus on developing B.subtilis strain, which will be capable of producing leucine but not isovaleric acid.

Results

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut imperdiet diam eget quam imperdiet imperdiet. Mauris dapibus risus felis, sed ornare diam accumsan aliquet. Sed eu turpis porta, porttitor tortor et, condimentum augue. Curabitur a maximus nisi. Vivamus vitae magna ex. Donec congue auctor odio vitae tempus. In a gravida neque, et tristique tortor. Phasellus a odio sit amet enim ornare lobortis. Morbi sodales, diam non rutrum aliquam, ligula mauris consectetur urna, sed interdum quam risus sit amet enim. Aenean euismod enim magna, id pretium eros molestie non. Proin rutrum lobortis leo, sit amet congue erat. Nulla congue pellentesque augue porta dignissim. Pellentesque quis ex sollicitudin, condimentum risus varius, aliquet ipsum. Ut pulvinar aliquet maximus. Praesent imperdiet interdum commodo.
