ATF1

The ''ATF1'' gene encodes aldehyde dehydrogenase of ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae''. ''ATF1'' catalyzes the conversion of isoamyl acetate from isoamyl alcohol. The ''ATF1'' gene was previously submitted by the MIT team in 2006, and here we compared the activity of isoamyl acetate production between ''ATF1'' and ''ATF2''.

ATF2

It is the gene encoding aldehyde dehydrogenase of yeast. We have submitted a new BioBrick part, which was the ''ATF2'' gene encoding the enzyme that produces isoamyl acetate from isoamyl alcohol.

YJL068C

This gene encodes an enzyme involved in the production of aromatic odor in yeast cells. we submitted a new BioBrick part that encodes an aldehyde degradative enzyme.

Growth Curves

Valuable information about reporter genes

We examined the growth of various transformants expressing reporter genes such as GFP, RFP, and CFP. You can see the effects of reporter genes on the growth of ''E. coli'' cells through the growth curves. Our data suggest a helpful clue for iGEMers when they choose appropriate parts in their future studies.
