Description
According to Vollmer, et. al in their 1998 Applied and Enviormental Microbiology paper, "Bacterial Stress Responses to 1-Megahertz Pulsed Ultrasound in the Presence of Microbubble", the promoter for the recA gene, a known SOS response gene, is upregulated 4 fold when cells are exposed to high frequency ultrasound and microbubble cavitation.
Notes
We did not see the desired response from ultrasound exposure that we expected from this promoter. However, we did not induce the same acoustic cavitation that Vollmer et. al. used to elicit a response from this promoter.

Cloned from E. coli MG1655 genome.
