Applications of BBa_K917000

This part was used to create ars promoter plus cscA sucrose assimilation gene(BBa_K917001)and lac promoter plus sucrose hydrolase (cscA) (BBa_K917011). Expression of this gene allows growth of E. coli K12-derived strains with sucrose as sole carbon source. We (Edinburgh 2012) have demonstrated this using the part cloned in pSB1C3, with no added promoter; this allowed good growth on M9 agar plates with sucrose added as sole carbon source, whereas vector control cells failed to grow.

  • Control plate with no sugars

  • Plate with sucrose as carbon source

  • Plate with glucose as carbon source
