Description
The promoter, CydAB, was found to be activated by the FNR enzyme, which is induced by the presence of (NH4)2Fe(SO4)2 and ascorbate. The oligo includes both CydAB, the FNR binding site, and the sticky ends needed for the Golden Gate Assembly method.
Notes
We had to include the FNR binding site in our oligo.
