Abstract
Our project tries to use corynebacterium glutamicum to produce indigodine dye. Comparing to traditional chemical dye, our biological dye is more environmental-friendly and money-saving. The bacteria will produce the dye directly and die from high temperature after the whole procedure of dyeing is done, causing no waste and leftovers, and the bacteria we use is of lower cost than the more commonly used substrate-- tryptophan. The biological dye can be used in fields such as medicine, agricultural industry and textile industry. We hope that our product can be put into industrial production.
