Design Notes
We use Lactobacillus casei as our chassis in bringing out numeral functions. However, we use E. coli primarily to do our circuit construction, and the testing of its features in biofilm-cleansing and pathogen killing. It is obvious that Lactobacillus casei has less safety concern in contrast to E. coli. Therefore, in afraid of causing environmental danger, we design several safety lock, in the aim of containing harms.
We constructed a killing gene regulated by a blue light promoter. We picked Ccdb, which is a coding gene that blocks E. coli polymerase to bind on DNA. As for the blue light promoter we uses FixK2 promoter which is regulated by blue light. Both these gene were separately K145151 and K592006 in the iGEM parts registry.
Source
The blue light promoter was derived from igem kit : K592006. And the ccdb gene was K145151.
