[DIYbio] Make bacteria smell

Guys,

I heard form E.Coli producing vanillin,  banana smell,... etc.
Would be really cool to show people what you can do in a diy way. ( I think to impress average people, you have to make the bacteria glow, smell, etc. to make success visible.  When you tell them they produce a protein, they don't see anything and it doesn't seem special )

Now I would be happy to find a plasmid (distributer) anywhere where I can get such a plasmid.
And it should make the smell without any specific  substrate-need. (I think that the IGEM bacteria need ferulic acid to make vanillin. Wherefrom shall one DIY'er take f.acid?


Would be really cool if anyone accidentally knew where to get one ;)

All the best
