Description
Upon induction with rhamnose, a fusion protein of CsgA with a hydroxyapatite affinity tag is expressed. The CsgA protein monomers can aggregate to form amyloid nanofibres. The affinity tag is supposed to increase adhesive properties of the biofilm created as a result of the CsgA induction.
In order to better visualize the individual cells in the biofilm, we added the constitutive expression of RFP to our plasmid in a different operon. For our design, we took advantage of the double terminator present in the biobrick I13521 by placing it in front of our genes.
