Description
lovTAP is a blue light sensitive protein submitted by EPF Lausanne in 2009. This has both lovTAP and the reporter system, so there is no need to have two different plasmids in a cell to detect blue light.
Notes
This blue light sensor is a fusion of a blue light sensitive protein with TrpR. Using a TrpR deletion strain might improve light sensitivity.
