Device

Part:BBa_K658010

Designed by: Zhizhen Zhao   Group: iGEM11_XMU-China   (2011-10-01)

a bacteria population-control device with lux pR-5 driven by lacl+pL

This device is made up of three subparts: a LuxI producer, a LuxR producer and a killer protein producer. It is designed to build a programmed bacterial death circuit, which is based on the quorum sensing system of Vibrio fischeri. iGEM-Team XMU-China has generated 7 bacteria population-control devices using RBSs of different strength and different lux pR mutants. This device has the ability to maintain cell density of the bacteria population at a relatively lower value compared with bacteria without this circuit and extends the stable state. Lux pR-5(BBa_K658007) was used to regulate the expression of killer protein LacZalpha-ccdB.
