BBa_K1403003 - Limonene synthase

This part consists of a limonene synthase coding sequence downstream of a constitutive promoter.

Limonene syntheses enzyme converts farnesyl-diphosphate to (+)-limonene, which is a component of lemon scent./p>

BBa_K1403006 - Jasmonic acid carboxyl methyltransferase

Jasmonic acid carboxyl methyltransferase catalyzes the formation of methyl jasmonate from jasmonic acid

BBa_K1403009 - bmst1

BMST1 enzyme that catalyzes production of methyl salicylate from salicylic acid. Methyl salicylate has a wintergreen smell.

BBa_K1403012 - alcohol acetyltransferase I

This enzyme converts isoamyl alcohol to isoamyl acetate producing banana odor

BBa_K1403017 - aldB

It stimulates acetolactate decarboxylase activities to transform acetolactate to acetoin, which smells like butter.

BBa_K1403019 - ilvBN

ilvBN gene exists in natural wild type E.Coli strain. They codes for acetolactate synthase process. Here, we isolated it from MG1655 strain through PCR to transform it into targeted strain for increased basal production of acetolactate, which serves as precursor for acetoin production.
