LacI:CspC K538204

This part was submitted by team [http://2011.igem.org/Team:Amsterdam Amsterdam 2011] as part of their project: icE. coli. Its purpose is to express the CspC protein from Polaribacter irgensii (BBa_K538004) under control of the Lac operon's promoter, pLacI (BBa_R0010). E. coli expressing this protein experience a drastic increase in their ability to survive freezing and thawing. This Brick's designers intend to use it to culture 'normal' E. coli faster at temperatures below its optimum (37°C), possibly even facilitating growth below the minimal growth temperature of 7°C.

Refer to the main page of the coding region (CspC: BBa_K538004) for more information on how CspC facilitates cold resistance in E. coli.
