It is improved + based on the existing part BBa_K1462040, this is a biological part submitted by iGEM14_SCUT in 2014, with only DNA + sequence information and simple text description information. Because the tolerance of Clostridium bacteria to + N-butanol is not good enough for large-scale production. Based on this problem, we chose Streptococcus Brevis + ATCC367, a lactobacillus with better N-butanol tolerance that has been isolated by researchers, as our host strain + in this project. Our team carried out a comprehensive characterization of this part in the laboratory, adding data + from fermentation testing to dedicate its function of producing N-butanol.
