Description
This construct allows for the controlled overexpression of the NhaR transcriptional activator. This part does this by utilizing an IPTG inducible promoter. Overexpression of NhaR has been shown to increase biofilm formation in E. coli. This part is intended for use in projects aiming to use or explore biofilm formation.
Notes
The expression of NhaR was preliminarily put under the influence of an IPTG inducible promoter. After observing the results, a strong constitutive promoter was opted for.
Source
The NhaR gene in this part comes for E. coli the K-12 genome. The remainder of the parts were obtained from the parts distribution kits.
