We investigated if DesA (Lysine decarboxylase) was fonctionnal by measurement of cadaverine using HPLC with C18 column and we proved that our biobrick allows the production of DesA which enables to produce the cadaverine and makes it fonctionnal.

[[File:T--Aix-Marseille--result5.jpeg|500px|tight|thumb| Investigation of the cadaverine production by the lysine decarboxylase DesA. The cadaverin production has been detected by HPLC using C18 column after induction of the <i>des</i> genes. Different backgrounds were analysed : wild type <i>Escherichia coli</i> TG1 strain (yellow column), <i>cadA</i> mutant from Keio bank (blue column), complemented <i> cadA </i> mutant from Keio bank with p<i>desA</i> ([http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1951004 Bba_K1951004]) (orange column), complemented <i>cadA</i> mutant from Keio bank with <i>des</i> operon ([http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1951011 Bba_K1951011]) (grey column).]]

Results showed cadaverine detection in the wild type meaning the original strain well produces the cadaverine.

In the <i>cadA</i> mutant complemented by p<i>desA</i> ([http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1951004 Bba_K1951004]), the amount of cadaverine was recovered and even beyond the wild type production.

Moreover, in the <i>cadA</i> mutant complemented by the des operon ([http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1951011 Bba_K1951011]), the cadaverine level produced was even over the wild type and complemented Bba_K1951004 production. We explain this result because of the higher stability of this big composite part.

To conclude, we made a big composite part able to produce every proteins involved in the biosynthetic pathway of the desferrioxamine B.
