Anderson J23104-RFP in pSEVA331-Bb

This is Anderson promoter J23104 driving the expression of Elowitz RBS-mFRP in pSEVA331-Bb plasmid backbone (part BBa_K1321300 and is a member of the K. rhaeticus genetic engineering toolkit (parts BBa_K1321295 - BBa_K1321332).BBa_K1321313 results in medium level of RFP expression (see Figure 1).

K. rhaeticus toolkit was designed to ease genetic engineering of cellulose-based biomaterials using the cellulose synthesizing bacteria Komagataeibacter rhaeticus and Gluconacetobacter xylinus (parts Bba_K1321305 and BBa_K1321306). As no registry parts had been tested in K. rhaeticus, the aim of this toolkit was to determine the parts usable in K. rhaeticus and to characterize them in this host. pSEVA331-Bb is a non-standard broad host range plasmid capable of replication in K. rhaeticus and E. coli (a shuttle vector) and was selected because the registry's standard plasmid backbone pSB1C3 can not be used for K. rhaeticus engineering.

Komagataeibacter toolkit was designed to ease genetic engineering of cellulose-based biomaterials using the cellulose synthesizing bacterium Komagataeibacter rhaeticus iGEM (parts Bba_K1321305 and BBa_K1321306). As no registry parts had been tested in K. rhaeticus, the aim of this toolkit was to determine the parts usable in K. rhaeticus and to characterize them in this host. pSEVA331-Bb is a non-standard broad host range plasmid capable of replication in K. rhaeticus and E. coli (a shuttle vector) and was selected because the registry's standard plasmid backbone pSB1C3 can not be used for K. rhaeticus engineering.

NOTE: Because the registry's standard plasmid backbone pSB1C3 is not capable of replication in Komagataeibacter or Gluconacetobacter species, the Komagataeibacter genetic engineering toolkit is housed mainly in pSEVA331-Bb. pSEVA331-Bb is a non-standard backbone, which therefore can't be quality controlled by and maintained in the Registry. However, in order to make the Komagataeibacter toolkit available for the synthetic biology community, Imperial iGEM 2014 team has made it freely available in AddGene or upon request.
