The formaldehyde dehydrogenase from an aerobic eubacterium Pseudomonas putida has formaldehyde-detoxifying activity, and its optimal temperature is around 47 C . It is higher than for growth of plants. In fact, transgenic plants were incubated at 22 C during measurement of GenoCon2010. This temperature difference suggests that the enzyme expressed in plants don't give the best performance.
To overcome the gap, I designed a transgenic plant expressing an artificial cold-adapted formaldehyde dehydrogenase. This plant is expected to detoxify formaldehyde more effectively at room temperature.
