Device3;
Producing formate dehydrogenase, changing formate to water and carbon dioxide
This formate dehydrogenase gene is derived from Methylobacterium extorquens. As formaldehyde dehydrogenase, Escherichia coli has similar function gene of this gene. But it has too long length to insert high copy plasmid. Escherichia coli has a gene that has the similar function as a formate dehydrogenase but it is too long to be inserted into the high copy plasmid. Therefore, we used the Methylobacterium extorquens’s one. This device is composed of its gene and constitutive promoter.
