Proof of concept(POC)

Fragrance of Garlic

We prepared 20g pork and 5g garlic. We left the pork for an hour on the table and grated garlics. We spread the garlic grated on the pork (A). We left the two pork in the box at 18℃ for 2 month. Left pork (A) didn’t change the color. Right pork (B) changed Pink to Brown. We found from this result that fragrance of plants have antibacteril volatiles.

Fragrance of Wasabi

We prepared some rice cake and 10g wasabi. We left the rice cake for an hour on the table and grated wasabi. We spread the wasabi grated on the rice cake (A). We left each rice cake in the box at 18℃ for 2 month. Rice cake of the above (A) didn’t change the color. Rice cake under (B) changed white to Black. We found from this result that fragrance of plants have antibacteril volatiles.

Fragrance of Rose

isoprenoid production

Because of its high hydrophobicity and low volatility, decane was chosen to extract and solubilize farnesolFOH from the culture broth. The decane was overlaidy in the two-phase culture media, but it did not affect the cell growth., and FOH farnesol could be well solubilized in the decane phase with negligible volatile loss. We adopt used 1 mL of decane to overlayid to the 5 mL of culture broth. Two-phase The culture of E. coli JM109 (BBa_K165025) was carried out in 2YT medium containing 1% glycerol at 29°C for 48 h. The decane phase of the two-phase culture was collected to analyze the FOH content by GC-MS.
