Vanillin Production
overview
The vanillin synthesis consists of a five step process starting from tyrosine. Both the transcription of the Sam 8 and COMT enzyme are locked to prevent vanillin synthesis without the presence of RIBOKEY. E. coli controls its own tyrosine production. However,should this be insufficient, we can always add extra tyrosine. The production process will be tested in two steps. First, from tyrosine to ferrulic acid; then from ferrulic acid to vanillin.
