yhjH under the control of constitutive promoter J23112

The product of this gene is a phosphodiesterase which is involved in regulating the levels of c-di-GMP, a bacterial signaling molecule. High levels of c-di-GMP promote biofilm synthesis and inhibit flagella by binding to YcgR which then acts as a "brake" on FliG and FliM. Levels of c-di-GMP are elevated and motility is reduced in yhjH-mutants.

Here we used 3 different constitutive Anderson promoters from the 2006 Berkeley group to test how different levels of constitutive yhjH expression affect the motility of E. coli.
