PrRNA41- weak lactobacilli promotor

A weak constitutive Promotor for Lactobacillus plantarum. GusA activity of approximately 50 MU.


We confirmed the activity using mCherry as signalling protein. Simultaneously, we compared it to 7 other promotors. Five of those we added to the registry and where published by Rud et al 2006 . Two were published by Team Austin, Texas, 2017.

Experimental set up

5ml cultures of the eight different transfected Lactobacillus plantarum NC8, as well as an untransfected control, were incubated at 30°C overnight under anaerobic conditions and constant shaking. On the following day, conditions were changed to aerobic for 3-4 hours. Afterwards, the cell suspensions were diluted to different densities (OD 600 of 2, 1 and 0.1). The measurement was carried out using a Tecan reader. Samples where excited at 587 nm and emission measured at 640 nm. Sterile media was used as a reference. Experiments were carried out in triplets.

We found that the promotor expression is of low strength.
