Cellulolysis device

• cenA (endoglucanase) and cex (exoglucanase): Biobricks made, but encountered problems when adding ribosome binding site.
• bglX (beta glucosidase): Biobrick made.
• P_cstA (promoter): Biobrick made and tested - successful.
  • P_cstA promoter assay with xylE as repoter

Glycogenesis device

• glgC and glgC16 (ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, responsible for rate limiting step in glycogenesis): Biobricks made and tested - successful.
  • Glycogen Assay 1 (Qualitative)
  • Glycogen Assay 2 (Qualitative)
  • Glycogen Assay 3 (Quantitative)

Starch synthesis device

• su1 and iso2 (isoamylases): Work in progress - to be continued in an undergraduate honours project.

Lycopene generator

• dxs+crtE+crtB+crtI+crtY: Work in progress - encountered problem at final step.

Limonene synthase device

• dxs+LIMS+appY: Biobrick made - still being tested (last test failed to detect limonene synthesis).
