Design Notes

This promoter can go in front of any gene you want expressed in response to the presence of BTEX compounds, provided you also have the XylR+Pr component

Source

Cloned from the TOL plasmid from Pseudomonas putida MT2. This is the promoter that regulates the TOL catabolic plasmid upper pathway operon.
