It is important to note that φ174E does not exist in the igem whitelist. We have drafted a safety precaution about φ174E and submitted the check-in form to igem official. The details can be seen on our wiki.

Demonstration of the function of the lysis gene

Group: iGEM Team OUC-China 2023

Author: Qingyu Wu

Summary: Successfully demonstrated the lysis function of this gene

After induction with IPTG for 2-3 hours, the lysin protein can almost completely kill all bacteria. According to the results of SDS-PAGE in the figure below, it can be observed that there are almost no protein bands in the induced group. This is because a large amount of protease is released after cell death, leading to protein degradation, indicating that the lysin protein is functioning.
