Ethanol model
Background:
trxC promoter is an oxyR-activated promoter. Behind trxC promoter are several terminals to inhibit T7 polymerase-producing gene from being opened easily ; namely, it will not open until the concentration of oxyR is high enough, which means the bees are facing disastrous infection. Once oxyR concentration overcomes the threshold and conquers the terminal obstacles, T7 polymerase is produced and will bind to T7 promoter, which is a specific promoter binding only to T7 polymerase. Behind the T7promoter are enzyme PDC and ADH-producing genes, which will convert pyruvate to ethanol, and thus kill spores of Nosema Ceranae.
