Description
The purpose of this part is to upregulate mtrB expression in response to salicylate. When expressed in a Shewanella strain lacking mtrB on the chromosome, this composite part will function as a component of a biosensor. Specifically, when such a complemented strain is inoculated in a microbial electrochemical system, current output will increase in response to salicylate. If coupled to the expression of a BioBrick part that degrades naphthalene to salicylate, this part will function as part of a naphthalene biosensor.
Notes
Constructed using non-BioBrick AscI cutsite of BBa_K957001.
Source
mtrB is originally derived from the mtrCAB operon of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1; BioBrick part BBa_K098994 was used as DNA source.
The salicylate sensitive region was isolated via PCR from a plasmid containing BBa_K228227, designed by PKU_Beijing 2009.
