Description
Using a LacZ operon (with RBS in sequence), curli genes are expressed and ultimately induce biofilm formation. The intent of this biobrick is to turn on biofilm formation in the presence of lactose. This allows bacteria to be cultured normally and then seeded as a biofilm when lactose is added. Biofilms have a specialized metabolism and are more resilient to toxins, improving the ability for bioremediation of toxins.Notes
Lactose can be common in some media. Lactose can also contaminate some media. If biofilms form prematurely, consider another operon.Source
