Results
Overview
We chose Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) to express enzymes that catalyze the production of seven specific terpenoids which are pleasant-smelling, distinctive, and safe compounds that could serve as olfactory signals. The selected terpenoids also have antibacterial properties, adding a functional benefit beyond their fragrance. Such as Limonene(tLsCl), ocimene (CcOCS), cineole (HpyCins, StrCins, SfCins), nerol (PgfB), nerolidol (AcNES1), Myrcene (AmMYS), borneol (CbTPS1).In this section, we will present all the results that are important checkpoints in our experiments. These include successful plasmid construction verification, successful transformation into yeast strain BY4741, and successful protein expression in yeast strain BY4741.

Verifying the Construction of plasmid in E.coli
Colony PCR of E.coli single colonies
Below are the results of the gel electrophoresis of colony PCR of transformed single DH5α E. coli colonies with our constructed plasmids. Two tubes of the sizes that are the same as the expected size are sequenced. The constructed plasmids were initially assembled from the terpene synthase gene segments and the HcKan-O vector. Subsequently, we combined these genes with our shuttle vector, along with the promoters and terminators.

Below are the gel electrophoresis pictures of the colony PCR of transformed strain BY4741 with fully constructed plasmids, which are detected positive by colony PCR. The single colonies are shown in figure 18. If we see that the gene segment is the correct size, then we know that the plasmid is inside the yeast, and we can begin fermenting them for Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry check.
