Vanillin Production

overview

Vanillin production overview starting from Tyrosine.

The vanillin synthesis consists of a five step process starting from tyrosine to form vanillin. Both the transcription of the Sam 8 and COMT enzyme are locked to prevent vanillin synthesis without the presence of RIBOKEY. Tyrosine production is self controlled by E. coli, should this by insufficient we can always ad extra tyrosine. The production process will be tested in two steps. First form tyrosine to ferrulic acid then form ferrulic acid to vanillin.
