Design Notes

It is a rhamnose inducible promotor, which when fully induced by 100mM seemed to have a high metabolic burden on our cell slightly inhibiting growth. Between our fimH sequence and our sfGFP and His-tag sequence there is a GGSG linker to provide space and try to minimize steric hinderance and misfolding of proteins. There is no linker between the His-tag and sfGFP, but we would recommend adding longer linkers and an additional linker between the sfGFP and His-tag. This was grown in DH5a because they are a type of E. coli that express the fim genes and the bp sequence was optimized for E. coli.
