Wintergreen Generating Device (WGD):

  • converts salicylic acid (SA) into methyl salicylate
  • production of methyl salicylate was verified both by scent and by gas chromatography: E. coli with no WGD did not produce methyl salicylate when SA was added to the medium, while E. coli with the WGD did produce methyl salicylate when SA was added to the medium.
