sorry for the delay. This is a rough draft. we will finish it soon.
Streptomyces Chyrsomallus consists of many genes; however, I was only interested in 4 genes and they are thpA, thpB, thpC and thpD. These 4 genes will help initiate the production of hydroxyectioine. The 4 genes should be arranged in this order: thpA-rbs-thpB-rbs-thpC-rbs-thpD. thpD is the gene that plays a crucial role in the production of hydroxyectoine. The other three genes are there to initiate the process. When inserted into a bacterium, hydroxyectoine will prevent dessication and many other extremes. It will protect the bacteria's proteins and cell membrane.
