Design Notes
The promoter is constitutively on in the absence of LacI so to work as an indicator of quorum signaling, LacI must be present in the cell. LacI may be in the native genome of the cell, but we recommend inserting a plasmid with LacI to have stronger expression.

Promoter sourced from "Emergent genetic oscillations in a synthetic microbial consortium" (Chen, et.al. Science 2015).
