Description
This part contains a kanamycin resistance cassette and a double terminator (BBa_P1003 + BBa_B0014). This allows the kanamycin cassette to be functional.
The cassette can be used to design a recombinant vector by gene insertion in a non lytic bacteriophage as the Lambda phage.
In fact it allows us to know if a bacteriophage is modified or not and if the inserted gene is expressed or not. When the virus is modified the kanamycin cassette induces a kanamycin resistance, so the bacteria become resistance, and when the virus is not modified bacteria are killed by kanamycin.
This part is completed by B0014 + P1003 + B0014 to finish the transcription before the resistance cassette.
Notes
When we design the bio-brick it was impossible to obtain a functional bio-brick by using the plasmid SB1AK3. But it's worked with a pSB1A1.
