Design Notes

We did not have to make any alterations of the original DNA sequence. We used Gene Designer 2.0 to analyze the original sequence and there was no indication of codon optimization, etc. Our inspiration for this project stemmed from reading the literature about possible sources for possible endogenous pathways for the control of bacterial growth. Some papers described quorum sensing pathways, specifically Autoinducer-2, as having metabolic and growth control properties (See reference 1).

Source

The genetic sequence was sourced from Uniprot under the name P76141 (LSRR_ECOLI).
