Advantages of „Stevia“

Stevia = composite of several steviol glycosides anticariogenic antidiabetic no impact on blood sugar no delay of satiety few calories pH stable, heat stable protective effect on vitamin C sweet diterpenes have certain advantages compared to both sugar and other sweeteners

Rebaudioside A

Rebaudioside A = steviol glycoside of the stevia plant best taste highest sweetness (300 × saccharose) least bitterness of all steviol glycosides extraction: stevia plants are dried and a composition (including rebaudioside A)

  • f steviol glycosides are isolated

Saccharomyces cerevisiae – a model organism

Why do we use S.cerevisiae? two required enzymes are localized in the ER established food additive producer closer related to Stevia than E.coli is

Gap repair – homologue recombination in yeast

Homologous Sequences: At least 40 bp long Free ends will be recombined Similiar to double strand break repair

Gap repair – example from our project

Required Components linearized plasmid DNA fragments containing appropriate homology to the neighbouring fragments In vivo assembly in yeast

Yeast BioBrick Assembly (RFC proposal)

Aim: Getting biobricks compatible to gap repair cloning construction of two standard primers for gene amplification Primers contain homologue overlaps to terminator/promoter-fragments Gap repair cloning is possible

11

SLIDE 12

construction of standard primers that bind prefix of promoter and have a homologue overlap to the respective terminator possibility to combine every promoter every terminator Aim: Variability of the terminator/promoter-fragment
