Description
Lysis construct based on the one presented by Berkeley's 2008 team BBa_K112022 (http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K112022. It is based on the inducible expression of a lysozyme and lambda phage's holin in order to liberate internal products of the bacterial cell in an efficient way. The induction is achieved by the addition of nitrile or a similar agent since both genes are regulated by nitA promoter.
Notes
Constitutive expression of nitR and a low constitutive expression of an antiholin are required to avoid undesired lysis.

The majority of the parts where made by backtranslating a protein. Others are existing biobricks while some are promoters obtained from databases as NCBI. Check each individual part to know its origin.
