Applications of BBa_K393000

The 2014 Minnesota iGEM team sought to both improve and characterize phsABC (Part:BBa_K393000), originally added by the 2010 Yale iGEM team, by incorporating a modified lac promoter that enables constitutive expression rather than IPTG induction thus making it more applicable to scale-up remediation efforts. We also improved the characterization of Yale's part by testing its application for biological precipitation of iron and cadmium in addition to their copper testing to add to the functionality of the part.

We have shown precipitation of cadium and iron using the modified BBa_K393000 which was entered as BBa_K1420006. We also added a protocol enabling the measurement of sulfides (Cline's Assay).
