Final GluColi device.

This is the most important biobrick we constructed in order to test the glue production by E. coli. HfsG [1] and hfsH [2] genes come from Caulobacter crescentus. C.crescentus is an aquatic, Gram-negative bacterium that divides asymmetrically. Besides the bacterium is able to synthesize a strong glue. This glue is mainly composed of polysaccharide. Different proteins are required in the holdfast synthesis, export and attachment in C.crescentus (for more details, please refer to the "introduction" section). In our project, we wanted to implement the glue production in Escherichia coli. As E. coli possesses homolog proteins, we decided to only insert the hfsG and hfsH genes in the plasmid. RFP has been added as a reporter gene.
