Description
This part is meant to express the csgB and csgA curli genes, which respectively code for the production of the curli protein that is anchored to the cell membrane (CsgB); and for the major curli protein (CsgA), which forms long fibrils with other CsgA monomers in a self-assembly process. These CsgA long fibrils bind to the anchored CsgB protein forming the amyloid-like curli structure.
The expression of these two genes will, then, occur at the same time and under the same conditions (in the presence of Rhamnose in this case)
This construct was designed as a negative control for BBa_K1316013 and BBa_K1316014, to see if expressing CsgA constitutively has a positive impact on the speed of curli formation
Notes
This construct was designed as a negative control for BBa_K1316013 and BBa_K1316014, to see if expressing CsgA constitutively has a positive impact on the speed of curli formation

csgA and csgB were PCRed out of the K540000 Lyon 2011 iGEM part.
