Design Notes
We selected BBa_I13453, an arabinose promoter, because it is a titratable promoter that allows for controlled expression of pili structural genes over a broad range of inducer concentrations.
fim was amplified with the native ribosomal binding sites, so that we could maintain the dosing of the fim subunits.
Source
The type I pili structural and transport genes from the fim operon were amplified from the E. coli K-12 genome.
