prhaBAD type-IC CRISPR-Cas

This part contains a rhamnose inducible system upstream the Type-IC CRISPR array and Cas genes. The spacer in the CRISPR array is a random sequence that can be easily exchanged by restriction-ligation with BsaI. The presence of rhamnose induces the expression of the CRISPR-Cas system, leading to DNA cleavage. The effect of different rhamnose concentrations has been tested in Escherichia coli Nissle 1917, and it has been concluded that concentrations higher than 3 mM of rhamnose produce a high genotoxic effect in the cells, as shown in the graph below.

Plate reader experiment conducted over 24 h. Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 containing a plasmid with this part was tested in M9 medium with 50 mM of glucose and different rhamnose concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 3 and 5 mM). The positive control corresponds to Escherichia coli Nissle WT in M9 medium supplemented with 50 mM of glucose. By inducing the kill switch with high concentrations of rhamnose (3 and 5 mM), we managed to significantly impair the growth of E. coli Nissle 1917, which was effectively inhibited for 15 h.
