Over expression of Acetyl- CoA carboxylase (ACC) sub-unit accCin E.coli to enhance fatty acid (triacyl glycerol) accumulation for Bio-fuel production” “Fuel it up” Teammembers: ParulSirohi SanjuTimilsina
Goal: To overexpressed accC gene in E.coli to increases Tri acyl glycerol (TAG) production and then our future goal will be to express the accC gene in any possible microorganisms ( Algae and bacteria) which might enhance lipid production in waste biomass.
Introduction Biochemical pathway • The gene of interest in this project is accC ( Acetyl Co-A carboxylase biotin carboxylase).This gene catalyze the formation of malonyl-CoAsubstrate for biosynthesis of fatty acid synthesis. • ACC is a multi subunit( accA, accB, accC and accD) enzyme in most prokaryotes. It is also found in the chloroplast of most of plant and algae. • Fatty acid is the major prerequisite for bio-fuel production, so its over production might enhance bio-fuel production. • Overexpression of the enzyme DGAT is most likely to enhance lipid, Tri-acyl glycerol over production but due to high introns numbers in the source ( Arabidopsis thaliana) we chose ACC over DGAT.
