Description
This part consitutively expresses lacZ (
BBa_I732005) under the control of Ptet strong promoter (
BBa_R0040), which is always active because tetR gene (
BBa_C0040) does not have any promoter upstream and so it cannot repress
BBa_R0040.
If this part is contained in
BBa_J61002 vector, RFP (
BBa_E1010) is constitutively expressed by
BBa_J23100 strong promoter.
This part confers the abilities of metabolizing lactose to lacZ mutant strains (e.g. TOP10 -
BBa_V1009) and of glowing (when the vector is
BBa_J61002), in order to (indirectly) detect bacterial growth by measuring RFP when the medium is turbid and the optical density (OD) cannot be effectively used as a cell count measure.
Notes
We used BioBrick Standard Assembly.
